so the paint on is better than spray on ? and also what should i paint my wheel wells with there is paint and they look really grey on all of them white paint was from the road ... should i just mask off everything except the wheel wells under there and just spray with black spray paint ? what would look the best ?

Mask everything off that you don't want painted. Make sure to clean your wheel wells off really good with some soapy water and a nylon bristled brush. Rinse a couple times with water or a degreaser...blow down with air to make sure it's dry. Buy some black rubberized undercoating and spray a couple light coats. Done and done.

okay that sounds good for the wheel wells but you think the paint stick instead of spray cans ? for the calipers ?

They have them at my local Advance Auto store...not sure about anywhere else. Order online?

And yes, I'd be willing to bet that the brush on stuff will be much easier, faster, and better than just regular spray paint.

Good luck!

I plan on my calipers being painted as soon as I'm home from college this semester in red and hopefully will look nice with my Rims

the Duplicolor kit comes with cleaner, tape and brush, covers VERY well...

I got my Duplicolor brush on kit at O'Reillys for about $18. PREP is key to a good paint job. I actually bought an extra can of brake cleaner when I did mine.

i paid $4.49 for spray bomb and used sand paper i had laying around my house, i think it looks pretty good but i cant argue with blueflames calipers either they look good, and it is important to make sure they are really clean for the paint to hold
