I really disliked the OEM drab green finish on the calipers, so today I took a few hours, and did this:
They are a little too shiny, but they will look better after I clean them a couple of times.

Yours look perfect!
I hope mine will look like that after a little use.
I used 1500F degree spray paint, and the color is "Aluminum". The cap to the can looked like flat aluminum, but this finish looks more like polished. I think it will change over time.
ya we used the exact same stuff i used a brush to get it on and i sprayed it in the can cap and was like that looks pretty chrome and when i painted it on i was like thats bright as hell but when i did some to cure them like they recomend it kinda toned down a bit so i was and now after everything and he way they look in those pics i am
thanks, I love the wheels myself Work Meister S2r's 18" if you were wondering.
what's crazy is, I was lazy (no surprise there), and didn't even remove my tires. just taped off the rim and surrounding areas, and dabbed on one good coat of the paint. It's been on for about...hmm 6 mnths now. that pic was taken 2 days ago. I probably need to repaint them sometime, but they still look good to me!
How funny....i just painted mine silver over the weekend. They came out great! Nice and clean looking. I used G2 Brake Caliper Paint Systems Set. I used there paint 2 years ago on my Accord (did the calipers red and they came out niceeeeee) so I figured why not use them again.
Comes with paint (obviously)
Brake and parts cleaner
Brush / and mixer
Quick dry solution to mix with the paint.
Its good up to like 1000 degrees and best of all its only $40.
