painting calipers is the easiest thing i've done to my car so far.....i'd have to say buy a duplicolor kit from any autoparts store for 15 bucks and do the real thing....and ive never painted anything before

its personal opinion.....on my bsp.....it looks damn sexy, and thats what it will look like on his csm if he does it. there's nothing wrong with it....after all its a tC, not a 1990 civic

^^that's regarding painting them, covering them is a whole other story....and yes....that'd be rice

I have to rank this product up there with spinner hub caps.

Brake pads take some patience to get out, as do a few of the front clips. The clips on the back just pop out. When I painted my calipers, I dremeled everything I could get to smooth, then took the calipers off the car (left the brake lines hooked up though) and removed the brake pads and clips. I finished sanding all the nooks and crannies I couldn't get to because of the pads, then covered the brake rotor with a plastic bag and bolted the caliper back on to its bracket. It was easy to paint and I didn't have to worry about making a mess on anything.

With the duplicolor kit that I got (you brush on the paint rather than spray) it came out great. I didn't have to touch my brakes other than to clean the calipers and paint them. No bleeding required (less you cut yourself somehow in the process) I put three coats on each caliper and they turned out great IMO.

This pic might help a little. This is what I didn't paint.

only thing that worries me with those is if they pop off while driving

i dont see the rice in this and not in painting them ??? when you paint them they look like dog ____ .... there always streaky , as in the picture above ^^^ if i never told you these were covers and had them while driving you would never know, and in fact would prob be like wow those look nice ...there basically just like powdercoating them

Kilo6_one

doubt it........
the only reason you would not really know these were covers is if they extended further/ deeper over the rotor.

i think my paint job, and others i have seen look pretty darn good, the result is only as good as the operator, so if you suck at painting, then of course your end result would equate to that.
