Neothin, that's the Duplicolor brush-on kit. About the colors, I considered yellow, but thought it attracted a bit too much attention...

I was hoping there was a way to body matched color, but the closest blue is more like blitz

Neothing? who would that be? ;)

anyways, how long did it end up taking you to paint them? did you take the caliper off?

EDIT:

batjew, yes you can color match them:



that is gjpjr84's strut bar that he had powdercoated. pretty good match if you ask me. check the NBM cult thread, page 4, and he says what color it was powder coated with.

You can get your hands on color-matched paint, but not heat resistant paint. If you paint your calipers with it, it's not gonna be pretty. It'll bubble and crack. I looked into it quite a bit cuz I REALLY wanted to paint my calipers and my engine cover iip.

you can paint the cover with conventional paint... it doesnt get hot enough to cause problems. there's a guy with a FM that did that with regular automotive paint (that paint shops use) and he hasnt had any problems with it and its been painted for months.

I did my BSP in red. With the stock wheels, you can see the caliper clearly when your driving on the freeway. Pass by a black car and see for yourself.
