Caliper Paint

Does anyone know where I can find caliper paint in the color of my car? I have seen several brands and they only have basic colors. I would like it to match the rest of the car. My car is red fire...thanks for the help in advance.

I just used the remainder of my friend's DupliColor Red Caliper Paint for my Redfire GT and it looks awesome. I've never thought twice about having the colors matching since.


And yes, somebody finally stole my tire valve caps.

Dear Knsbball,

Most good auto parts stores like PEP BOYS, MURRAYS, etc. in my city carry caliper paint kits...

You can always go search the internet and find just about anything you want (even a girl) ha-ha...

Paint them with 2 coats and let them dry thoroughly before installing the wheels back on the car...

You'll be fine!!!

That looks good. I like the red, it makes it look like a set of high dollar aftermarket calipers, instead of a more "show" like appearance if they matched perfectly.

Nice shine job , what polish/wax did you use?

Well I just got done with it today...think it turned out pretty good. Thanks for all the input I never thought plain red would look good with the redfire but def does.
