				painting calipers/drums
			 Surely someone's done this before... What kind of paint should I use? Is there a high-temp consideration for the calipers? Any tips for prep/painting? |

				 | It's that expensive? Not going for the rice effect, just wanted black or grey rather than rust-coloured |

				 | Make sure you grease and sand the caliper/drum before you paint it... and get it nice and clean, otherwise the paint wont stick evenly and it will look like sh*t...

				 | i painted mine white a while ago.  you dont have to sand anything - just use brake parts cleaner and let it dry, then do light even coats.  my paint stuck like there was no tomorrow and went on very evenly.  then when i got my car painted i had my brakes painted the same color as the car   |
