    just remember, be patient. Use caution not to get paint on your rotor, and use plenty of newspaper/towels to soak up the paint that will drip if you decide to use a brush.

    if you take your time, this project will come out looking very nice. 8)

    edit: oh yea and use a small brush to get into those little spots a bigger brush might not reach.

    I have also thought about doing this also. Quick question, when you guys say calipers, are you guys just referring to the front ones? Or is it for all 4? I know it n00b, but I gotta know somehow.

    Check out G2 paint from Ebay. It's the shit. It's what i used. and several other members with random cars swear by it.

    Our car comes with 4 calipers for each wheel. The calipers WOULD be easier to paint if we/you completely removed the caliper housing and just paint it like that. But some of us (me included) just used alot of patience and caution to paint brush the caliper one at a time.

    Yep. I've used this stuff (G2) before. It's pretty good. But this time I think I will steal Phil's idea.

    Sorry bro :wink:
