Default x-post for stoptech owners....

has anyone 'touched up' their calipers? i have some scratches on the side of the caliper from wheel weights. i have some high temp black paint that i used for the rear calipers, but it is no where near as glossy as the stoptech paint. anyone have suggestions on what to use? should i just say f**k it and leave them scraped? or use the black duller paint since its only a small area? how much is it for a full repaint? maybe i'll change the color to red

Default I think repainting them would be prohibitively expensive.

Probably about $200 or so believe it or not. I contacted Stoptech about getting some of the red paint so I could match up my rear calipers. Matt gave me the number of the place in Cali that paint their calipers and I called the dude. It's a hi temp paint, and a certain process, and yadayada I decided it was too much money and pain.

Leave them scratched up, it lends that whole "I've been racin' and beatin' up my car" mystique.

Default i have been racing and beating up my car ;)

its not that noticable anyway. actually, i dont think you can see it unless the wheel is off and you're looking inside the wheel well. still bugs the crap out of me.
