Default brake calipers

Theres a company/website that has new brake calipers for the neons that already come painted and everything. I forget it though and couldnt find it using google search or anything. Ive seen it mentioned a few times on the forums here. Anyone know what Im talking about?

Never heard of the site but it's SUPER easy to paint your own. And I'm pretty sure there's a write-up on how to do it (either on this site or srtforums.com).

I know, but its one of those things that annoys you until you figure it out you know. Ive seen it mentioned once or twice, cant find it though.

Just mask off everything very carefully. Don't get yellow calipers AND rotors....there is a hole in the middle.[:@]

Nah for prepping i'd just get some pretty rough sand paper...maybe a 400grit and go to town. Don't disconnect the line, I don't think it's worth bleeding the brakes for all this unless you're a perfectionist and want to get that paint amazing.
