http://members.aol.com/thecontourguy/images/front.jpg Color is kinda washed out. They're yellow. I just brushed the paint on, easier than taping it all off or removing them. Some like the yellow, some don't. Very easy, even if you're an idiot!

the best cheap and easy way is to use duplicolor #177 gunmetal metalic truck paint that you get at wal-mart for 3.89. just clean your calipers with a spray brake cleaner and spray the whole thing, pads,rotor,caliper and all. first time you hit your brakes, the rotors are clean and shiny and the calipers look great. my 2000 svt is red so i chose this color but any of the other duplicolor colors will work. boy, you sure can tell a yankee car!!!!! what a lot of rust!!!!!!! what does the underside of your car look like? my son did his s2000 honda in a bright red as his car is silver and it really looks nice, not rice. really compliments his red leather interior.

PhatSVT, how do you manage to keep that red paint on the ROTORS!? LOL! I believe the word you're looking for is calipers! j/k, I really like your car, it's one of the best looking on the CEG IMO.

Anybody tried a product called G2? I got their blue caliper paint kit thru racesearch. I think it's similar to folitec. Kit has a can of brake cleaner, two-part paint (paint and activator) and brush. It's high gloss and if you can believe their own hype, it has "best heat resistance in the industry." We'll see about that. :rolleyes:

All I did was tape them all off and layed news paper around so overspray wouldn't go anywhere it shouldn't...I used a hand wire brush and scraped some of the crud off...I used some normal high heat paint from a local store...cost about $3, an hour of time and it looked sweet The paint hasn't attempted to come off and when i wash my car I used a 3000 psi presure washer to clean then...makes them look like they where just done...
