Got some duplicolor caliper paint and went to town. Me and my buddy used a hammer drill to get the rust off and prep them...it worked wonders
now for pics...
rear before w/ wheel on

looks good, mine is about the same for my car. i got the GTP Comp G so the small inside part of the caliper was already red, but not the outside arm. So I painted both with the Duplicolor Red. I still need to do a second coat though, which you may need to do as well. My directions suggested a second coat after some time.

I used the brush method and I need to do a 2nd coat this spring.

you did all that and didnt even paint the middle of the rotors. take the wheels off again and do that too.

red calipers.....BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm didn't think about doing that...
And qwick.. It'll match my theme of silver/black/red

If your response was to the original poster, maybe he likes red?
If it was to my post, considering my favorite colors are Black & Red, and my car is Black, since the original calipers were already Red, painting everything else red was the best choice. Also, my interior lighting is either Red or White and my engine compartment supports and other parts are either already red or going to be painted red. Plus I'm getting the reflective concepts inlays in red. See a theme here? Black/Red, not boring, it's what I wanted.

its a known fact on this forum i hate red calipers

Looks cool bro. I like the red calipers. I wonder if I wouldn't have painted the back side of the pad black. Just a thought
11-23-2009
Looks like a nice shade of red
Only thing I would have done differently is to have not painted the actual pads but if you like it good job
My car is silver with blue theme, so my calipers are silver and the brackets are blue, I like the way it looks.

x2 - and hurry
11-23-2009
i woulda just brushed the paint on! the painted backside of the pads looks funny to me!
11-23-2009
Get a pic of the side view of whole car

Imo it makes the calipers look really tiny without the pads painted, and they are small enough already lol

powdercoat FTW

As Bio said, how hard would it of been to paint the rotor center. After the next rain it's going to look like crap again. Also - how come people can't pay attention to detail and simply tape off (or dissemble) some areas for a better appearance, nah - just paint the whole damn thing.

if ur calipers are red or yellow that gives people the idea that ur trying or are an avid racer. and dont paint the rotors either. **** is tack. i did my calipers with a brighter red, makes it more noticeable. and i also did a clear coat overlay all using spray paint. i like the drill hammer idea gj.
