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.
