I decided to paint my calipers last night, at midnight. It was the worst idea ever because it took a lot longer than I thought. So 3 hours of sleep later I return with pictures. What you guys think?

Gun metal if they make it? I think that would be sweet on your car boosting.

Its Silver Dupli-Color paint, 17 bucks for the kit.
Cleaned them with the spray then brushed them with a wire brush. Then brushed on 2 coats. Waited for that to dry then sanded it to be kinda smooth. Brush on as many coats as needed usually 4 total coats.

Nice, im glad you used the dupli-color kit, ive seen that at local places and wanted to know how well it worked.. now i know !
now time for me to figure out my colour scheme!

^i've used it. will never use it again!

I've used the kit also, its the only paint I use now.
Gotta be the brush on style...
if you prep the calipers properly, and paint it as per instructions you get a really nice smooth ceramic paint. Last a long time.

whats the beef about? what happened
ive heard the G2 kit is nice too

I had no problems with this paint. They give you a TON of it. The can I used doesn't even look like a used any. I could prolly do like at least 5 more cars with the same paint.

I G2'd my calipers, and Duplicolored the rotors. I figure that the rotors will be replaced before any caliper (hopefully). Now my brake system is rust free too (since the rotors were cleaned and painted)... G2 is Da Bomb!
