Here's somewhat a better picture of my Candy Red Calipers...
I want to see close-ups. Those look amazing!! The TE37sl with candy red is a perfect match very clean!

That's a nice color...

What type of paint is everyone using? Has anyone tracked with their painted calipers?

I think SoundMike has a good DIY and tracks his car but I want to hear from others too.

I'm reading a lot of good reviews about G2 caliper paint but it's a brushed type which I can't imagine would go on smoothly..

The paint holds up well. I have used Duplicolor caliper paint and engine enamel and it's holding up great. No chips whatsoever from the road. Just make sure the calipers are prepped well

When I sold my car I had Infiniti perform a used car inspection for my buyer..

Infiniti said that the brakes would not be covered under warranty from finish defects.. Painting your calipers will not effect their performance or function.. (as long as you do it correctly)

I know this is kind of an old thread, but for those who painted their calipers themselves, how did you do the lettering?
