    Brake Caliper Paint

    Does anyone here know if there is a place you can order brake caliper paint that has a selection of colors other than Ferrari red and silver. I am looking for different colors besides the normal basic ones. Anyone know if you can get a color like the Henna Red from the old E30 M3? Thanks for any help!

    Try this: www.formymercedes.com
    Click on C-Class & it will give you a few neat things, including caliper paint.
    Yes, I have a few mods, but they\'re so discrete, my wife hasn\'t noticed them.

    On my old car, I just used regular paint from Home Depot. They were 4-piston calipers and everything. I autocrossed it too and had no problems with the paint wearing away.

    Just don't use engine paint. It chips too easily.
