Cailiper Painting
Can you guys recommend a good caliper paint to give my car the GXP look? Also, before painting, other than removing grease/dirt from them, should they be sanded/primed/etc?
I used Duplicolor spray paint years ago. Worked great, but seemed to get dirty quicker than the Duplicolor kit that you paint on with a brush. I did mine 2-3 weeks ago with the brush method and they haven't gotten a speck of brake dust on them, and I drive 450 miles a week. Of course I cleaned them much better this time. I also sanded the calipers with 40 grit sandpaper down to bare metal. Preparation helps a lot.

I used the G2 paint - a bit more expensive that the other ones mentioned... but I'm totally pleased with them. Kit comes with the cleaner as well. Also, if you're looking for decals for the calipers, link is listed below too:
