Painted my Calipers today
I've been mostly lurking here for a while, but I finally decided to paint my brake calipers today. I have a 2002 TL-S in ABP, and decided to try the dupli-color blue paint kit. It turned out pretty good. I have some before/after pictures here if anyone is interested. It is definitely a lot lighter blue than the body color, but I still like it.
I also ordered some Eibach sways last night, so perhaps next weekend or the weekend after that I'll be jacking the car up again and installing them.![Too Cool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/toocool.gif)
I'm thinking about having the windows tinted after that, then maybe springs.
Again, The pictures are here

looks cool. have you thought of using ABP paint on them? i wonder how that would look. i doubt that paint would be heat resistant tho. i didnt even prep mine at all. used a wire brush to remove surface dust and just sprayed it. nobody is going to look that close to them and realize that the paint is slightly uneven or something. good job tho!!!
