Anyone paint their brake calipers?
 
I'm thinking about painting my calipers red to match the car but don't know if the paint holds up. Has anyone done this yet? If so how is the paint holding up and what brand did you use? THANKS

Duplicolor caliper paint in the small can, not the spray on, it has ceramic in it so it turns hard as a rock after a little heat brushed on about 4 heavy coats per caliper that will fill in the cast dimples in the calipers. it has been 2 weeks and still super shiny, and break dust doesnt stick to it as much either.

Why couldn't you just find out what they used on the SRT's? I'd like to have my R/Ts done red to match my paint.

Mullit...Where did you get paint and how many cans did it take?? You didnt have to remove the caliper did you?

Mary Ann the SRT's has a different caliper and it come red from the factory

I also did the Duplicolor Red on mine, it's been 6 months and they look like new. If you're very careful, you can paint them with the brake line still attached, just un-bolt the caliper from the bracket and spray them down if they're dirty. Have patience and they will turn out great. I still had half a can left after 4 coats on each.
