What kind of paint did you use? I've painted my calipers before on my Miata and used some high temp engine paint in bright red and it has lasted over 3 years. Just curious.

Looks good Easy. Did you also paint your rotor hats? When I do mine when I'm on vaca in a few weeks, I'm going to paint my rotor hats black and paint the calipers red.

Thought about the rotors but,,, All I had was some Red or White Paint. (Barber Pole)
Will more than likely do them in Black when I get some paint. It is enough for one day to do the calipers,with two coats each.

Since you'll never see snow and salt where you live, your calipers will probably survive. Just don't move to Wisconsin!
