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

everyone seems to paint it with a brush. other car forums i see they mask everything but the caliper and spray on.
anyone did that before?

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?

I say paint the badge on the front or maybe just the lion bit, black and red go very well together
