Painting Calipers

[seowitz@seowitz.com (Erik Seo)]

Your local Pep Boys has Red, Blue, Yellow, and Black brake caliper spray
paint for like 7 bucks a can...enough for all 4.

G2 engineering makes a brush on caliper paint that is MUCH brighter,
glossier, and just looks way better in my opinion.  I used this kit on my
Subaru.

I used the cheapo spray can on my scirocco front calipers.  Much duller and
less durable finish.  You can buy online at:

Also found em here:

The good brush-on caliper paint kit was like $50, but it looks soooo much
better.  I think I will eventually re-paint mine with the G2 paint.
I have heard of the high temp engine paint to come off of the
calipers......and the finish just isn't as nice as with the G2.....but the
G2 is expensive to just paint your calipers.....
