I was wondering what color i should paint my calipers. They are currently red, but for some reason i want to go with a black or cast coat iron color. My car is onyx black and im going to get the chrome decals, any opinions?

I'd recommend Duplicolor 'cast coat iron'. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Ever since my rotors were replaced, I've gotten way too much brake dust.. It would be stupid for me to go through all that trouble.. Anyone have any advice? <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

Mark is that a paint you sprayed on or brushed on? How many coats?
I'm thinking black or red for my car.

I sprayed the paint on. I used about 3/4 of a can for both calipers. I showed my neighbor today and he could not believe how nice they looked, thought they were new custom brakes. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

If I can find a deep blue color I am going to do it....Mark when you bought yours did you see any dark blue colors there???....I will most likely need some Trans Am caliper decals when I'm done with that... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

I've seen your car and I have to tell you that you don't have to do them in blue. Have you seen the Duplicolor 'cast coat iron'? That would look great on your car.
E-mail me for the decals.

Nope, took a plastic bag and put it over the rotor and taped another on the wheel well. Then I taped the brake line and items I did not want painted on the caliper. I also hung the caliper with a coat hanger.
I just finished the rear ones today to match the front. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
Did them the same way. Worked great! <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">
