I love the Cusco Front Strut Bar, but I'm not wild about the blue bases contrasting with my Firestorm FR-S. So, I painted them...

Brake Caliper paint from Auto Zone. It'll take 2 cans to paint all 4 Calipers. Cost you about $15. Don't forget to clean the calipers before hand.

nice. I want to do mine too, I afraid the paint will come off after couple months driving.

Did you heat your caliper after painted?..like put into the oven.

No, I took them off the rotors, sprayed brake cleaner on them, and brushed them with a brass brush to get rid of any dirt/ debris. Then applied around 3 coats. It's an easy/ cheap mod to do. As far as the paint coming off.... i'll cross that if it comes up. Good temporary fix until I can get a brake upgrade.
