If you can get your hands on the VHT caliper paint, then sweet. I used it on maybe 3 brake set ups (including mine) and they haven't faded or scratched off. Make sure you prep the surface well

how long does this process take.. ? i bought some brake caliper paint and it says you should apply several coats, waiting 15mins in between coats and it takes 30mins for touch dry and 24 hours for hard dry.

Am i able to drive the car after an hour of applying? or would i have to wait til the next day?

all done..

Here's the results... this was the first one i did and made the mistake of not taping it all nice and neat.. : )







Great DIY, all up cost under $20.... thanks finalazy..

I've been waiting to do this for a bit, but I can't get my wheels off. Just got them on and I think the place put them on too tight. Guess I might have to jump on them.
