SO my brother and I finally got around to painting the brake calipers on the Dark Knight II..... get the front end up in my garage, looking around underneath... and discover there must have been an employee on the assembly line that day with a sense of humor!
Left me a message on the oil pan!

I picked up the red dupli-colour from our Canadian Tire dept. store.
Was $20 Canadian.
BUT!!! i was told by a custom painter that Regular car paint would do the same job.
In a way he has a point. Leave your car in the baking sun and take the metals temp. I'm sure if the paint can withstand the suns baking heat, it will do the same for the caliper.
N E ways, Great job Dave
