Painted them on the car. It's a brush on kit. Not spray paint, so easy to use.

the paint holds up pretty well. I need to touch mine up, but they still look good after over a year

Red calipers look great on a silver car, I'll definitely be doing this soon.

Looks great Zaksgt...

I painted mine with POR-15. I'm currently using the same stuff to paint my rear axle assembly. POR-15 is pricey but once it's on and dry, it's like an armor plate.
