Caliper painting

Hey fellas
Just thought the while my car is jacked up at the garage with the wheels off, I could give the calipers a paint...
How much is it to do this? And where can I do it?

Errr... Anywhere between $15 (Supercheap paint) - HPC etc. Why you'd want to HPC your stock calipers is beyond me tho (if you ever thought of that option)..

Get some heatproof paint and go hard

Re: Caliper painting

So do I just paint them myself? haha Where do you buy heatproof paint from?
What's wrong with HPCing stock calipers?

Re: Caliper painting

supercheap repco for heatproof pant. It says caliper pain on it. Just just a plastic bag stick it around the rotor where you are painting and cut a hole out the same as the caliper then paint it.

Re: Caliper painting

supercheap satin black caliper paint ftw. Like any painting prep is the majority of the work. Make sure calipers are grease and dirt free you wont have any problems. Like so:
