shellin' out $40??? yo go to autozone, pep boys whatever and for $15 bucks you get a kit with caliper cleaner, paint paint brush masking tape. I have used thsi twice now 1st time in silver and 2nd i bought red andi never had a problem. my brother in law who went out and spent some crazy cash on "specialized paint" his started to chip andgot really dirty. my $15 investment worked wonders, always clean when i washed tha car and never chipped, i only did it a 2nd time cuz i wanted to change colors to red...LOOKS FABOLOUS
