    For anyone that has painted calipers how did they hold up? I also saw where some put a high temp TRD logo on them and put high temp clear coat over it. I am also curious how that held up.
    Thank you in advance.

    I painted mine. Now they look like crap haha. Been about 3 years. But I probably did something and didn’t seal the pain right. There are a few guys on Instagram that all they do is travel around Texas and paint calipers. I’ve seen their work (mostly high end luxury cars) and they look fantastic. I’m probably going to give them a shout soon. They are complete mobile so they come to you. I think they were between $500-$700 depending on application.

    Mine turned out good. If they crap out in a few years I will just buy red ones.

    I buffed the hell out of them and degreased them real good. We shall see what happens.

    All good brother! I was wondering when I would get a choo choo train post. I post a fair amount but don’t put pictures often. Haha.

    What’s a good paint brand to use? I was thinking about G2?
