I just ordered a pair of brembo front calipers. Once I get all the parts together, I'll be powdercoating them and the rears, probably black cherry on my black GT. Depends on what color I go with for the wheels. If the wheels wind up dark, then I'll do a lighter color on the calipers.

,,, ,,,,Okay, finally got tired of seeing all of them pretty painted calipers and decided to do it myself. Has anybody tried this brand?

If so is this an alright brand? Does it hold up to heat well? Any flaking problems? Also I am not the best artist, I'm more of the mechanically inclined sort not the artsy type, so does this paint lay well? Thanks for any input and also any pics of calipers with the same kit would be appreciated also, thanks guys!
