Easiest way to paint the calipers is to just sticky tape up any parts you don't want to hit.....and then just spray away.

Did mine in silver with just a few sprays of Caliper paint.....any brand will do as long as it's a high temp resistant paint.


Should only take you about 45 minutes......less if you've got more than one jack.

They were already painted when I bought the car, they need redoing though as some of the paint is flaking.

I was thinking about going red but the yellow does stand out more so I think I'll just get some high temp paint and spray 'em up.
