Default Caliper paint

I recently refinished two sets of Virgo's and they came out great. Next were the calipers on the '88 245. I picked up some Duplicolor Caliper Paint (brush-on) in red for about $16. Used the cleaner first, then a drill-mounted wire brush, then the cleaner one last time. The paint went on great and dries to touch quickly. I used three coats and the overall hardness and gloss really impressed me. It'll make your drab calipers like-new and give a good accent for your car.

Regards,

We did the same on my sons 850. It is black with 16" Mimas from my S60. Looks really good. I have pictures posted in the Exterior Forum under Recent Upgrades 850. Post some pictures if you can.
