It's just a spray can kind that I found at the auto store next to the spray on caliper paint. I'm sure it's not as good as the stuff my dad uses at his autobody garage back home but it works for me.

Thanks mang. That's exactly what I was going for. I like bullits but I wanted to be a little different without going crazy. I still think I'm going to go with hypercoated Saleens next. Wheels are like girls, there are so many hot ones to choose from.

Red calipers just don't do it for me. I like them Black.
Looks like a good job on the painting though.

I was lazy and just painted the whole damn thing. They are soon to be replaced with Mach I brakes. I will paint those in a better fashion.

I just hit these with a little sandpaper and sprayed them with the Duplicolor caliper paint. I threw on some 03/04 Cobra wheels so the calipers were much more visible and I didn't like the rust look. But was too lazy to pull the brakes to paint them right.
Look far better than they did

I wouldn't put those wheels on my car, but they look damn good on yours.
