Stock Gold Goodness has faded to the ugly dirty grey with a touch of a rust on one Caliper. I mean it does not matter car is tracked alot but, would like to make them look a tad better for the good old Bling.........

Here are mine Dupli-Color gold. I've had them painted for 3 years and there is no rust. I cleaned them very well before painting and it turned out nice.

Are there any particular colors or types of paint that are better for heat transfer. I don't want to paint my calipers if the paint will slow down the cooling process on the track.

You MUST use 'high' temperature paint and you shouldn't have much trouble finding it?!

Here are a couple of pictures of my calipers & surround, sprayed 'matt black' -

A little bit of overspray on the rotor but nothing a 100-0 stop can't fix

Might as well throw in some of my bling-bling caliper shots.

Stock E36 M3 calipers, G2 Caliper Painting kit(gotta have the gloss, all about the gloss).






Kinda hard to see behind the BMW forged wheels, but you get the idea. Kinda dusty too after some 100-0mph stops to bed in the Axxis Ultimates.
