Paint calipers
Im wanting to paint my brembo calipers black. Anyone know a good product to use for this. Also I have some rub marks on my calipers and there is bare metal exposed, what type of primer should I put on this.
Any tips or how-to would be appreciated too, although Im hoping this is pretty straight foward.

Did mine with G2 in black. I removed the rotors and pads. Get a better brush then what G2 supplies. Clean the calipers throughly, go over them with a scotch brite pad and clean them again. I did 3 coats on each caliper and used a tad more than 1/2 the can of paint. Finished the calipers off with silver Chevrolet and red Brembo stickers just like OEM. I also masked the silver finished bolts holding the calipers together, brake line banjo bolt, bleeder port and line connecting the 2 halves of the calipers together. Nice smooth finish which has stood up to 5K miles of driving and 1 track day at Roebling road. They still look new.
