I just did a search and didn't come up with anything.
I would like to paint my brake calipers and I don't want it to look tacky.
Does anyone have a black 8 with painted calipers, or at least suggestions of colors?
I thought about red but don't know if that would be to much. Any pictures would be appreciated. Thanks.

I painted mine today. I used Dupli-Color worked great. It does take time to prep and paint

I love that paint. It went on so well. IT looks better then the spray paint. I can not say enough about it.

Is Dupli-color only available online or can I find it in stores?
