I am wanting to paint my calipers the same shade of Burple as we have on the Decals. Problem is I cant find it ANYWHERE. If anyone could offer a suggestion I would greatly Appreciate it.

I think the closest you're gonna get to Burple is the blue kit from DupliColor...you might try experimenting with the brush on kits and mixing the paint yourself until you come close...

The duplicolor stuff works good. I have had it on my truck's calipers for at least two years now without a single chip or flake. Mixing the colors might be a good idea, the stuff is cheap enough that if it doesn't match it won't be a big loss.

Thanks guys! I havent been able to find anything either jay. I looked at theG2 stuff and it says not to mix colors, so I will keep looking. I think it would look pretty cool on my truck.

Jay the blue would look great. As for painting calipers, I have a question to throw out. Paint can be a heat barrier, do we want to trap heat in our calipers? Does it really matter? What about chrome/cadmium plating? Are there any issues with doing these?
