Go buy VHT caliper paint from any autoshop.
Clean calipers .
Paint them several coats.

If you want them perfect.
Get them professionaly powdercoated.

i think your car would look nice in red. Here's mine. I used Plastikote Caliper Paint from Pep Boys.

just take your wheels off, clean off the drums and calipers as good as you can, and I just sprayed about 4 or 5 coats on there. Thats about it... Biggest problem would be if you had dirty brakes and you tried to paint.

painting the front calipers is acceptable. painting the rear drums is soo ghetto. almost looks like you bought thoes chrome hubcaps with the simulated disc brakes.

Don't paint your drums dude, That is so played out and ugly!

Calipers are acceptable, I painted mine red since my car is red. You should go with red also, it looks very good, especially if you got slotted rotors and ebc brakes like my setup....lol. Oh yea , and try not to paint the brake pad, I think it just looks better and more profesional if you don't.

I'm painting mine blue once it gets a bit warmer here. I got a can of that VHT Caliper paint. DO NOT paint the drums - I agree that it looks totally ghetto. I like MSL's idea of painting them black. Give them a nice look without increasing the Rice Factor of your ride.

why would you paint them in the first place? well, I guess you can paint the front, but like everyone said don't do the drums

I was actually considering painting my drums. Right now its like all rusted and dirty, wouldnt painting it black look better? Especially with rims cuz they are clearly visible.

I painted both my drums and my calipers flat black. Who would want to call attention to a drum and tiny disc brakes anyways?

my point exactly haha


and i think it's necessary to paint drums if they're going to rust like hell, mine we're so insanely rusted, just put on black paint, looks so nice.

You said you are painting the rest Black - drums and front disc......... Just making sure this was a mistake because , What ever you do ............You never paint the fron discs (Rotors),
that would just really F$ck things up.
