Thanks for the tip on the plastic bag. I did mine this morn and we will see how it looks in the morn.

i'll be honest i only covered it with the bag for the first one i did - by the time i got to the other it was hot and i just wanted to finish but the one with the bag covering it came out a lot cleaner

I did both the front in red as I had done the rears in white. I have the Camouflage color and kind of stands out. I'll let you know how they look in the morn.

Hey Samantha----
They only had the brush on kit in black at Auto Zone here. I noticed your calipers were already painted before. Were they painted using the spray can method? How hard was it to do it with the spray can first?
I might want to paint my calipers red...even though yours look good in black...

Thanks

at the pepboys in my town they had duplicolor black kit and red kit... so maybe try another store?

i do know if you go to a local racing/sports store - they have other colors like yellow, green, pink, silver etc. duplicolors makes kits for all these colors - you can search online for caliper paint and can get a good range of colors. you dont REALLY need the kit - you just need the paint. the kit just comes with caliper cleaner.

and my calipers were painted red when i bought the car... the person who had it before was from the Street-Glow company (it was a fleet car) but he did a shitty ass job spray painting the calipers red lol so i had to do some damage control when i made them black

Here's a link to the entire line of Dupli-Color caliper paint kits:

nice link! i was going to do mine green - but i didn't want to overkill the car. but i know they had red and black in the store cuz i got one of each (figured i'd do the boyfriends while i was at it - too bad he doesn't trust me and so his lazy butt can do it himself lol)

I googled Dupli_color, and that's one of the links I came up with. I ordered the red kit for myself. I'm only too happy to help, Samantha.

[sbkob2447]

yeah the dupli color red kit is good - that's the one i bought for my boyfriend's VW. the paint is real thick... i didnt even sand my caliper - i just painted it and it's stuck for over a month now so it's good stuff

sam your gonna yell at me but i've had my wheels off like 5 times in the last week and never even thought about redoing mine, even though it's about that time.

[sbkob2447]

and i'll even throw in the caliper cleaner haha

[no1dad1983]
