<span style="color:red">This will have to do until I can save about $1500. for a big brake system. I bought a G-2 Manufacturing Brake Caliper PaintSystem Set in red on ebay for about $30. including shipping. I did to wheels at a time.

very nice! gives it a real sport look. i think red calipers on a white car just look better than on any other color.

I'm assuming you took the calipers off of the car to paint them. Was it difficult to remove them? My BSP Tc will be my project car and I'm interested in doing this as well.

Actually it took about 4 hours...figure 1 hour per caliper...you do NOT have to take the calipers off...just the wheels...just need to be extremely careful when painting...just mask off the rotors. Not suppose to use the brakes for at least 24hours. Once they dry, they look really nice and brighten up.
