what color should i paint my silver p5's brake calipers??? and how long will this take to dry....thanx alot......im going to do it today if possible

RED!! I think red would look great with the silver paint. I would let it dry for a couple of hours before driving.

Good luck!

What color is the car? what r your styling plans or plans for wheels? r u using spray on paint (takes up most of the day with diassembly, cleaning, drying, recoating etc. etc. took me about 8 hrs to make it look real good.) im going to redo mine with the foliatec brush on. its supposed to be easier, take less time and last longer (spray on-6 to 9 mos, i hear the foliatec can last like 3 yrs. and still look good). if you need any more info let me know

don't bother with foliatec, use G2. It's the best stuff out.

Silver...hmmm...honestly, i'd say silver. If you can find it.

Don't get any of that crap it's a waste of money. This is what you do: go to your local auto store, ask for a can of Dupicolor high temp engine enamel, pay 2.89 and do it yourself. My calipers have been painted since the day the car was picked up and I haven't seen a single chip on it yet. That was a year ago.
