Help!!
 
I want to paint my Brake Calipers.

1) what kind of paint

2) what color should I paint? I was thinking blue or yellow.

3) how long before I can drive after painting?

you can use the duplicolor spray paint that you can get at any auto store. And just make sure you do a clear coat over the paint as well. And you are taking them off to paint them right. Just wait till the clear coat dry's. Like a day or two then put them on and your good to go. But its gonna take more than 2 days to do because of the coats you need. I would say if your spraying them every day then it might take 4-5 days depending on how many coats you do. I wouldnt do yellow, i think its too tacky. Blue isnt bad.

They also have the regular caliper paint as well. A kit that comes in a box and whatnot. Also remember to clean EVERYTHING off the caliper before painting. Paint not only will show imperfections but also will hide corrosion until it's too late. Then you're sanding and repainting and that's no fun...
