Default anyone paint there stock calipers
mine is black with stock wheels. i was cleaning it the other and was thinking they would look a lot better painted. i was looking at the g2 stuff on pure ms. anyone have any pics of a successful attempt at it or good write up of the proper way to do it. or does this just end up looking awful
