How to make calipers look good?

[halik]

Hi,
i just check my calipers because i have rims/tires on the way and theyre NASTY looking!

Whats the best way to clean em up, they seem to be fairly rusty, especially the rear ones.

Do what i did...take a steelbrush and thoruoghly make htem clean..then use a sandpaper with rather rough grid to take the last **** away..then use a fine grid paper to smotothen it up..Then just paint it with paint.I used rim color..silver.Looks perfect to me and its all silver and nice)
It has held the looks for four months now so...stand the weather and all pretty good)

Grab a can of heat resistant paint and go to work on them. I used VHT Brand paint for mine...black calipers in minutes

Did you guys remove the caliper itself and paint it or did you just go at it still on the car?

i just did my calipers yesterday....

I used Duplicolor Silver Rim Paint w/ Clearcoat (also Duplicolor), I left em on the car, just used masking tape so i didnt make a mess.

they look good, and the Duplicolr rim paint mayches my rim color exactly..it looks sweet

I did not remove my caliper when paint it . I just cover the area that I don't want to paint and put my car cover to avoid over spray to the body.
