if you have about $120-140,, get them powder coated.... Otherwise go the cheap route like most,, ie myself.. And get the Dupli Caliper kit at any Auto parts store.. But get the brush on kind and not the spray can kind.. And when you do it, make sure you mask off all the parts of the brakes around it like the brake pad, rotor etc so that you dont accidently drip paint on those parts that you dont want paint to be on..
