I painted my last set white. It went through more than 30 months with no problem at all.

Black seems a bit better. That red is too striking for me and imo has an appereance like it was painted with a paintbrush. No offence.

Hormazd: This is just the look I am looking for. It's so pretty. I love the RED caliper.

How long do you have to wait until the paint dry out??

I purchased HIGH TEMP BRAKE CALIPER PAINT from VHT and the decals are from Xenonmods.com. By the way, RUDY, the calipers have been painted for 4 months and been through a car wash weekly. They still look like the day I painted them.
