Re: Caliper Painting

VHT has a caliper paint which appears to be good. It's spray on.

And Dupli-Color offers a brush-on paint that works ok too.

Just clean them good with brake part cleaner and a toothbrush, then mask what you don't want to paint, and go to town.

Multiple coats will make them look better.

I used the Dupli color kit on the 95 firebird and it worked really well, much better than I thought it would.
I also have a 95 V6 bird for those who care.
