Scott for future reference I just did a test with the duplicolor red caliper paint and it actually is a much closer match then the paint pen. Now you can have touch up paint and match your calipers.

 

awesome slc thanks for the info, i had planned on painting my calipers just as soon as the sun decides to come out for sure and i found a good paint. does it harden and all that stuff and withstand the heat?

 

Yeah it works fine. I got the duplicolor caliper kit. It was about $15. It is nice and hard but you will have to touch up chips occasionally. This happens with all paint. I have painted calipers with different paint and they always get little chips. I found out that most of the time this happens by the stupid guys that balance my tires and aren't careful when they put the wheels back on. Mine are red and I think they really make the car look much better.

 

my choice is spot repair haha the paint pen sucks just my 2 cents

 

i have a metallic silver. IT SUCKS!!! if its a small scratch then use the pen. But if its kinda big.. trust me unless ur Bob Ross then it wont work for u :P

 

I am also not a fan! The paint when dry is flat so you need the clearcoat which is then too thick or makes it a two day job. Give my the old shiny stuff.
Where do I find it in Pheonix Red?

 

I just went to my dealer, got the little bottle with the brush attached to the inside of the lid (like a nail polish bottle). Its cool, it has a BB in it so you can shake and mix up the paint really well. With the little brush you can be very accurate and then just polish it when you're done.
The clear coat the pen has sounds interesting but I dunno

I got the very bright yellow paint to match my callipers, need to do a second coat but they look really cool (on a yellow car).
It was actually a spraycan, the only place I knew with the duplicolor kit went out of business. Spraying it on would be messy and was too thin so I just sprayed it onto a brush and applied it that way, worked really well.

 

Well it sucks on your car. . . . but the silver metal stuff on my key was coming off so i finished taking it off and matched my key to my car! that just attests to how boring of a Saturday this is but its kinda cool, heres my second set of keys i never used and my old one redone with the paint pen!

 

I wish my car keys looked like that.. i have this big beefy thing with no letters/symbol on it..
