Has anyone here painted their calipers? I'm thinking about giving it a try to add a bit of color to my ride. If you've done it, what color did you go with? Any tips or tricks to share?
Is caliper paint worth it

Why not go for powder-coating instead of just slapping on some paint? It’ll look way cooler and last way longer! Trust me, it’s totally worth it!

Maybe because he wants it to be a cheaper option.
What color are you thinking of @Frankie-Machine-66? I kept mine to be original.
Agree with this, you gotta powder coat them to make them look good.

Calipers paint is totally worth it for that extra pop of color! It's a fun and relatively cheap way to customize your ride. I've done it a few times, and it definitely adds a nice touch. Red is a classic choice, but I've also seen some killer blue, yellow, and even green calipers. Clean those calipers thoroughly, use a good quality caliper paint (high-temp!), and mask off everything you don't want painted. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick one, and let it cure properly. Also, consider getting high-temp decals for that extra detail. If you're not comfortable with the DIY route, some shops offer caliper painting services. Go for it, it'll make your wheels stand out!

I’ve used VHT caliper paint in red and blue. Really adds a cool, custom touch to the car
