After getting some ridiculous quotes to paint my calipers red I decided to do it myself. I've only done the fronts so far as I ran out of time but I'm more than happy with the result especially as the total cost was less than $30
1 can if VHT red caliper paint..
1 can of VHT clear coat.
1 can of brake cleaner
AMG decals from EBay
Spraying is the easy bit. 3 coats of red and 3 coats of clear. It's all in the preparation. I have not written a guide as all I did was follow threads from other members that have done the same. I'm more than willing to answer any questions though.
Honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference between that and a professional paint or coat job. Looks good.
Usually I'm not impressed with those cans of clear. Did you go pretty heavy on the coats? We have a two part clear in a can at my work that's used for class 3 welds which works awesome but is super expensive.
