Why not just paint them yourself?

NPDAN · 04-13-2007, 08:14 PM

I guess I could, I just want them to be perfect...

they will NEVER be perfect unless they are powder coated.

the brake dust eats away at the paint and will begin to fade every so often.

i have painted some of my other cars calipers but i got sick of respraying them once a year, so i just gave up.

its prob the easiest thing you could do, remove the tire, cover the rotor and let it rip, good luck
