    Not the best pic..but you get the idea. I two-toned it (silver/black)

    I used G2 from http://g2usa.com

    I had limited choices to get pink caliper paint, but it was easy to use and turned out beautiful.

    I am fortunate and was able to use hubby's garage and put my car on jack stands so I could easily do them.

    and yes i got a few drops of pink paint in the garage floor

    Duplicolor seems to be the caliper paint of choice... I used red and silver for two tone as well (see my sig). Its got ceramic in it so it should hold up to the heat

    I suggest investing in some small welding wire brushes and using them in conjunction with brake cleaner to scour the calipers and brackets.... be careful of the rubber portions of your calipers. Wipe down the calipers afterwards to remove any loose dirt and grime. Follow the manufactures directions when applying the paint(s)

    Yo, Obsidian... i'll have to get my silver paint back from you one of these days after you get it back from Derek... lol

    I used the Duplicolor Blue on mine. Great product, reasonable price. Goes on easy. There is enough paint to do like a dozen or so calipers.
