Lol the paint was free since my buddy got leftover from servicing private jets at his work. I wish I could have done a better job at preping the calipers though. Came out decent none the less.

dang maybe you can help me out.

I don't mind helping mixing and painting. Lol you are going to have to do the cleaning and prepping the calipers though. My buddy told me that he will check on what's the lowest amount of paint he can order. I'm sure you don't want a gallon of this stuff lol. Even a pint is good for 10 set of calipers I think. So we might just have a meet and paint calipers day. Lol everyone will leave the meet with yellow calipers!!!

I'll help you if it's next Sunday. Be prepared to let the car sits for 24 hrs if you want to use the same type of paint as mine. What color are you going to do? I have 2 more curved red Brembo decals left.
