I have a Skyjacker suspension however it came in black. I used the Duplicolor Red caliper brush on paint and pianted all of the Sky Jacker components. It looks awesome and it is very durable. This was over a yr ago and it still looks great. I do was them whn I was my truck. The offroad parts store here in El Campo gives out free decals of all the different types of off road brands so I put the silver Skyjacker decals on some of the components and I'm always asked where I got the suspension lift. I 'll probably do the calipers and brake drums in black. I'll take pics and post them.

I'm telling you man that Duplicolor Brake Caliper paint is durable as hell. True I do was those area's when I was my truck but the paint is still in tact and it gets dinged alot by rocks and other road debris, look at the shocks they were installed new at the same time I painted my calipers.

yup but they still function. I'll probably pull them and repaint them white with the spray on duplicolor brake caliper paint instead of the brush on.

actually places like 4wheelparts.com, jegs, summit, and this other offroad mag has them on special for like $33 -$35 a piece and 2 for less money than if you bought them seperately. These are only a yr old though.
