Hi,
I decided to have a go at painting my faded calipers, i just had my rims refurbished and new centre caps. I felt the calipers let them down. Im happy how the turned out, not exactly perfect but look much better, i was worried last night as they didn’t look great after two coats but i put on a third and they looked much better this morning. I also put some spacers on and looks and feels great. Next to ditch the pzero tyres and full alignment . After that job done.

Looks good.
I'm planning on doing mine on the next few weeks, as mine has anodized calipers and they have not held up well.
What paint did you use? And would you recommend it or choose something else if you were to do it again?

Hi,
I used Foliatec, it comes with everything you need. i think they came up really well and will certainly do for now. I used this paint before and was also happy, just take your time between coats.
