go to Pep Boys and buy some "Brake Caliper Paint." That stuff will not chip or anything. I put about 3 coats of it on the calipers on my Tibruon about a year and a half ago and it looks like I just did them. If you want to check them out let me know. Also, they do have the paint in black 8)

yeah, at the time i painted them, caliper paint was out of stock so said fuck it and bought high temp thinking it would hold. They were painted almost 2 years ago. I just didnt want them to rust, if i was doing it for looks i wouldve painted them fluorescent pink. :lol: With fats and skinnies you cant see them so i dont care.

if i do paint them, itll be when you come up here with the wheels
