Had a few hours spare so decided to paint my calipers, just doing the front for now, will do the rears through the week, I know red isn't everyone's favourite as it's probably the most overdone colour but I'm doing a black and red theme so they had to be red, anyhow here's a couple of pics

No worries pal, you can get it off eBay , it comes with a brush and some cleaner to get all the s**te off your calipers before painting

Most people I know brush it on, but you can spray if you want,my mate who was a sprayer as a job painted his with a brush instead of spraying, I don't know what the benefits of either way are?
