I went against all advice and painted my calipers WHITE. As to go with the planned blue and white reverse woodward dream cruse anniversary car color scheme. I used High heat engine paint, and prepped with a wire wheel/ break clean rinse off. As i got the car the calipers were red on a blue car ![Barf](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_barf.gif)
They are easily cleaned after each wash but i found using an plastic wheel cleaner brush did flake it off one caliper (probably due to a rushed prep on the last caliper) And i love the look, all i need is white Trans Am lettering on the side to really make them pop

i used a Da sander for the top and side and a dremel for the smaller areas. I then hand sanded from 800 up to 2000, then polished with a 4" polisher and small bit polishers on the dremel for tighter areas. They require very little maintenance, much less than my TTII wheels.
