Painting the calipers

RE: Painting the calipers
I just happened to take on the same project with my VR4 just a couple of weeks ago. I used the Duplicolor Caliper Kit in red. It is a very bright red and looks great. Here are a few pictures of the process from start to finish.

RE: Painting the calipers
An email from Duplicolor confirmed that they do NOT recommend a clear coat over their ceramic caliper paint kit. I too was concerned about this. I have seen countless after pictures from other members of that board that have done this project along time ago. The ceramic paint seems to hold up well on it's own. Emphasis should be applied to cleaning and preperation (especially the cleaning). The single can of Brake Cleaner included with the kit is NOT ENOUGH. I'd suggest u purchase at least another 3 cans using at least 1 per caliper.
