Caliper Paint

[BigRed]

Okay If I do change my rims Id of course end up having to replace my brake system (purely for looks Lol) but in the mean time while Im still recovering from my Rim wallet dent Id like to paint the calipers and the Rotors (NOT the Pad contact of course)

so what kind of paint do I use?? do I sand primer Paint?

I want Red and the Calipers and Black on the Rotor

Thanks
;help ;help

I went to an arts & crafts store and bought a small bottle of paint
that was listed to be used on metal. Cost: $3.98 vs kits that I've seen for this purpose priced upwards of $45.00!!!

I took off the wheels, made sure the calipers were cleaned of all dirt, grease, etc. and used a small brush to apply. They look like they were factory painted.

I did this about a year ago and I autox and road race my car and they still look as good as when I first did them.

Sorry, but I'm not able to post any photos but if you go to
www.grandsportregistry.com and click on the events section,
there are pictures of my brakes posted on the Carlisle 2001
photo section.

I used that same trick before, hobby shops have some great paint that can be utilized in many automotive aplications.
