you can use a spray on caliper paint by duplicolor which holds up well. If you want the best there is a couple bruch on kits on the market that are much better imo. they go on thicker and come as a kit to do the whole job. I think even walmart sells the kit in some ereas. Stay away from engine paints and suchj as from what i have experienced they don't hold up well.

I've done my calipers. I think it adds to the car personally. I'll be changing the color here soon actually.

I believe you can also have them powder coated in almost any color.

yea, im not much of a fan of walmart, but i cant deny that they have a ton of stuff that I'm usually looking for. The kits at walmart will give you an idea of what to look for and how to do it.
