I want to use spray paint to paint the brakes... because I think it wont look good if I use regular paint. But If I use spray paint to paint, I would paint on another parts to. So what should I do? Can I use spray paint but to use brush to paint? Will it look weird?? What kind of brush I should use??
Thanks a lot

If you must use spray paint, just mask off the wheel well area and the surrounding areas on your car with newspaper and tape. But, I would recommend using G2 paint. You can get it at http://www.tirerack.com although you can find a cheaper price if you search around :google: BTW, G2 paint goes on with a brush Edit: here's a direct link to tirerack: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/g2/caliper_paint.jsp

It's very high quality, it'll look great and it's simple to use, don't worry.
The only places I've ever seen it for sale are online. You only use it once. It should last for years if you apply it correctly (just follow the directions).

just use high temp engine paint (what i did). either tape/mask off areas you dont want to paint or spray into a little cup or something and use a brush. it's not brain surgery!

yah go G2 I got mine off eBay its good enough for all 4 brake caliper and then some..but once you mix up the stuff you have to use it all that day can't store it. just follow the instructions its really easy to do and you just brush it on with the brush it comes with.. a whole kit it comes with...

can get it on ebay for like 20$ anymore And I also agree that G2 is glossier than the cheap spray can stuff you can get at autozone.

Definitely do this on a flat surface. Safety first You'll need to jack up each wheel and then use jack stands; the paint has to cure for 24 hours after painting (at least it does for G2 paint).

It means I need to wait 24 hours before I put the wheels back?? It's weird to leave the car outside with no wheels... someone going to steal my brakes @_@"
