Default Painted calipers
Here was my chore for the day. Removed wheels to clean the insides really good. Decided to put a coat of Duplicolor Silver on. I've included one picture of before. Thoughts?

I read the thread title and was like "Oh this is going to be good". My opinion is there are only 2 colors that stock calipers should ever be painted, silver or black. Nice job

Thanks. They really weren't that bad to start with but figured it's easier to maintain rather than let them get out of hand. Silver maintains the OEM look.

Did you brush this or spray it? Obviously you removed the pads.

Believe it or not I didn't remove the pads. Decided it was easier to just use tape and patience. I used a brush to apply the paint.
