Caliper question

I did the search.

I saw that a lot of you painted your calipers.

I was wondering if your rotors warped or if you had brake problems as a result.

I wanted to do mine, that's why I'm asking.

OR would you recommend getting Brembo Calipers?

If you paint them, the brake experts recommend you paint them Black, since Black disapates (sp?) heat better.....

Has anyone swapped out JUST the calipers?

I recommend you use the GT2 paint from the Tirerack.com... it is really good stuff.. just get a better brush to apply it with..

No brake problems as a result of just painting the calipers. Like I'm sure you found in your search, everyone says paint them black or silver because they are "ugly". Have not done the CL-S yet, but on my last car used the G2 paint kit and came out fantastic (think same thing smitty mentioned).
good luck
