I knew that question would come up... Well! I am curious to see if any other ladies have painted calipers, specifically pink ones! I've had a hard time finding caliper paint, I actually had to mix two colors to get what I wanted.
Awww. That's cute.Originally Posted by Smartie

I helped her out. We would have ordered the VHT High temp paint online, but she wanted them done right away. We found some Duplicolor high temp paint at a local hardware store (Canadian Tire). Bought a can of red and a can of white. Mixed the two by spraying them into a cup until we got the desired color.
The brush allowed for more control. We did 3 coats. Still holding up great today in the rain!

Well mine is a girl car but it does not have pink calipers... sorry... I painted mine in the Duplicolor silver base that is used when doing the anodised look I still have not gotten around to finishing it off as it was supposed to be Black but I am quite liking the silver...
The paint job looks terrific and I do like tha colour pink - I have to agree with the others nice choice of rims but riding on 18's will look so cool but will feel all the bumps on the road

That's very unique....looks good with the white.
Rims look nice too, but too big IMO. You can wrap a 215/40 tire on a 17x7: no rubbing, better ride. Probably less expensive too!
