Painted my calipers red yesterday with the Dupli-Color Caliper Paint (w/ceramic) Kit. They turned out better than expected using a brush. I'll take a couple sideview pictures after put my upgraded/polished wheels back on.

Perry,

Thanks. Burke0011 (Dave) on TMS painted his black with white ponies and they look equally as sharp. It's a matter of personal preference. I have the ICAP, so the spash of red behind my wheels matches my seats. B)

Looks good. Not sure I'd do it with a silver or mineral grey car, since the calipers are silver/grey already, but they look good!

I did it on my silver car, and I like the way they look! Martimus has a mineral gray and he painted his red also, looks good to me

I know what you mean. When I did mine, I kept seeing all those brush marks as I was painting. But the leveled themselves out. And it looks great. Decals are a nice extra touch.

I love Blue, but went with the silver car. Do you think Blue calipers would look good?

Yeah, looks great Steve! Was good to see you , your family and your ride this past weekend. Sorry you will miss the show on the 11th - have a safe trip to Alaska!

Perry - yeah, I went with the Stealth Fighter look - I dig it!
