Re: Paint Brake Calipers?
Well if they show though the wheels nothing is much uglier than rusty rotors but I'd make sure the color choice goes along with the build. Bright red or yellow rotors on what is supposed to be a traditional build might be out of place while black or gunmetal gray will look clean but not be in your face bright.
If you snoop around the net a bit there are some big discussions on different boards on how to prep and paint them so the paint holds up. I'm thinking some of the automotive specialty paint outfits like VHT now sell special paint for calipers.
