Cool Painted calipers

If you're planning on painting your calipers with the dupli-color paint system here is something I learned the hard way. First thing you should do is throw the supplied paint brush in the trash. The paint is really really thin and the brush is kind of stuff and just doesn't apply the paint very well at all. Wal-Mart has a foam paint brush in the paint section for about 50 cents. These work so much better. Not only do they cover in fewer coats, but also leave no streaks. Using a foam brush will save you time and trouble getting rid of all the streaks. All in all I highly recommend this over spray paint. I think mine came out great, and everyone who's seen the car since I've done it says not only does it look great it makes the car look better and sportier as well
