Which paint did you use, the spray kind, or the brush on kit? I've been looking for the brush on one, heard it was real good, but none of the local stores around here seem to carry it.

Ditto on the Mr. Clean tool as well, I bought it Friday, washed the car, let it dry without touching it at all. The only place that you can slightly see some streaks is looking through the windows. All in all, it's a great product.

I inquired about having my calipers taken apart and painted at a local shop. I was told it was "too dangerous" to paint calipers. They said paint could get on the piston and lock the brakes up. I've seen hundreds of cars with painted calipers, and I've never heard of this problem. Is this actually a serious problem or was I getting fed a line?

I used the VHT Spray. I gotta say it came out great. I just masked everything off and sprayed light even coats I think I actually only needed two. I only got the front ones done today, I ran outta sun light cause I was completely doing my entire car. I did the interior and all heh anyway I'll post pics of them tomorrow after I do the back ones.

Autozone carries the brush on kit (ceramic paint). I pulled the caliers off the mounts (not a hard job on a brand new car) and cleaned them with the included spray solvent and proceeded to waste the nest 3 hours painting 1/2 of each caliper at a time in rotation. That is the best way to do them. No matter which angle your look at my wheels, the calipers are a nice red color. Do not half ass it and use the masking tape and only paint the fronts, leave that method for the Honda boys... do the right thing, paint the complete caliper. ... I just went to the garage and looked, the kit was from Dupli-color. here is the link to it. Duplicolor caliper kit
