I was bored at work today so I painted them up. The will look great against the crossdrilled rotors and white rims.

I hope that that's high temp paint...otherwise the paint won't stay on, probably won't stay blue for long either...

The paint is a high temp paint (engine enamel), so I think/hope it will hold up. (I've used this stuff on things that get much hotter than my calipers and its not faded). :D

The paint is called 'metalcast' available pretty much anywhere (I got mine from can-tire where I work). I sprayed it over a base of gold VHT paint, to darken it up. Its a semi clear paint so it needs a few coats. I've used it on a valve cover and calipers of another car and had no issues.
