I've been looking around the internet for guides to painting calipers, and they seem to vary a lot and none of them are for celicas specifically. I was wondering if anyone on here who has done it has any method(s) that they feel works well. Thanks!
P.S I dont have a whole lot of experience so far with cars so a simple method would be appreciated

i use dupi-color high temp caliper paint and have had great results with it...takes about an hour to dry and your good to go...i always spray them twice a year...once before summer and once at the end...doesnt take to long...only reason i give them 2 coats a year is because the brake dust builds up and sticks on there pretty good...espically when they get hot...i think the paint works great
Dirty  clean  cant really see them too good but you get the idea...i love the look --------------------  I"M NOT A TOYOTA FAN, IM A FANATIC 1984 accord hatch 5 speed (T-Belt)-Junkyard 1991 VDUB jetta wolfsburg Ed. 5 speed (clutch)-junkyard 1988 Dodge Aries K (sold) 1969 Chevy El camino - Traded for celica 1991 Dodge Daytona-Traded for Celica 1988 Chevy Camaro-Work in Progress 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - For Sale 1995 Toyota Celica-Work in Progress |
