Caliper Painting
 
First off, im extreamly new to car mods, and please take it easy if i ask a tun of questions.

And I dont even know if i have the correct spelling of caliper.

Anyway....

They are the little things on the disk break thingie ahhaha.
Told you I was new.

I was going to attempt to paint them super bright blue like the rest of my interior
(added cheep seat covers from canadian tire because I get in and out 40 times a day, and i got some seat belt covers for my B-day from the people at my work)

So i was looking at lots of sites and see red, blue and yellow ones.
I guess the question is, How hard is it to pain them? and what type of paint do i need to purchase at the hardware store?

Thanx

I painted mine a couple of months ago when it was still relatively warm... used the jack to raise each tire at a time and since I did 2 coats, painting all 4 calipers took a good solid day's work... mind you the end result was quite spectactular!..

I recommend you use real paint as opposed to apray paint.. does a better job and you have more control of where th paint goes.. check out the FoliaTec caliper painting kit.

It does look fairly easy to do.
Where would i find this FoliaTec caliper painting kit?
