Pictures of my red calipers on the RS1.0, just incase a fellow owner is trying to decide whether or not to paint them!

Um, can I have your house?


Also, thats an interesting place for jack stands, what are they actually holding? I can't tell from the pictures.

Haha! The rear had jackstands on the axle, with 2 in the front with floor jacks on the arms just in case

Red G2 brake caliper paint, I used it on my 2010 Mustang GT and it stayed on for 5 years with just a couple small chips in them. Just make sure to use two coats and you’ll be good for years. https://www.amazon.com/Temperature-L.../dp/B000AUMYMM

The G2 paint is the only thing I'd paint my calipers with. It's easy, self leveling, and it cures really hard. I've used it on 3 cars now, and highly recommend it!

All in the prep really. Need them clean, clean, clean. When you figure they are clean enough then clean them one more time.
