Decided to paint the brake calipers this weekend. Thought it came out rather well. Sorry no close-ups, I'll take better shots later, the sunlight wasn't on my side.

I chronicled how I did it on my website: Click Here (http://vividaurora.net/?page_id=76)

nice job on the calipers :)

what % tint do you have?

Nice work. IMO - this is the best mod for the price!! can o'paint and a little time and TLC for something that makes a pretty big difference.

Thanks for the appreciation...and I agree, you can't really beat it for $17. The paint is also pretty good quality, if it truly is ceramic based as it says it should hold well.

Even if you need to touch up a spot or 2 over a couple years, there's plenty leftover after the initial paint job. Most here have reported the paint lasting fine for a couple years (as long as you get the right paint).

Did mine in March - so I'll report back after the winter beating!!

its all about preparation. if you prepped it well, ceramic paint should stay on for the most part.
