i used a hand paint, not a spray. called caliper paint. cant remember the brand off the top of my head, but there are alot of DIY'S and you can buy it in most local auto part stores. it doesnt take long, youll wish you did it sooner..

It really does look good, and what a transformation it makes!! I did this to my friends car (he has a black brand new Altima with blakc wheels and the red calipers really POP now). I will do mine soon but I can't find the kit in yellow anywhere!!! I don't want red or black but seems that's all I can find
