Find any local Hardware Store

1 Pint of Bright Red (Gloss) Exterior grade Paint - $3.00

1 pack of small assorted paint brushes - $3.00

Jack up, Remove tire & Paint caliper (after cleaning outer caliper surfaces) - 45 minutes per tire

I've used this method on multiple vehicles and the paint is still on and looking good after 5 plus years. If it gets scratched or nicked, get your half empty pint of bright red paint (leftover from 1st painting & touch it up like new)

There are plenty of high speed, low drag, high temp, specialty paints "Just For Brake Calipers" that will cost you $30.00 to over $100.00 for the kit and you still have to paint them yourself

Save your money for the real Mods

Best Regards,

Ray
