Painting Calipers

This may have already been answered, but how does one paint the calipers on the TL? Should I have a shop do it?

Thanks,

Burt

no dont have a shop to do it. just buy the paint, jack up your car, take the wheels off, tape the areas that you don't want painted, and slap it on there. you also might want to go with 2 coats of paint. you can buy the paint at pepboys or your local auto shop. it is quite easy. i did mine in like 2 hrs. tops. it is well worth it

If you do a search on it, you will find a lot of info on it. I am also planning to paint mine but not until next spring.

Good luck!
