You have to clean the calipers GOOD though, and let them sit for a few days to harden for the best results. I also tore them down 100% and sandblasted them before I did it, and rebuilt them afterwards. They are 100% covered, not just the side facing the wheel. It's available in more than black, but that's what I did it with. Not cheap either. But I bet it will last longer than any other stuff you all have sprayed on yours. And it won't chip with a brake job [maybe if you smash the caliper with a hammer, but in that case you shouldn't be doing the brake job in the first place....]. --------------------  |
