Highly likely that you will have to put it back to stock version. Meaning, no painting / modification.
Do you want to take that chance when returning at end of lease ? |

simply tire uses caliper paint that chips off rather quickly & melts at the track during intense braking and needs to be repainted quite often.
Here is another solution, Quy's coating powdercoating calipers Quy's Coating http://www.quyscoating.com/ 14 Regan Road 2A Brampton, Ontario L7A 1B9 Tel: (905) 840-6040 Cell: (416) 219-9463 Fax: (905) 970-1088 Email: quyscoating@hotmail.com       orange brembos: too large to link http://www.quyscoating.com/images/rim/31.jpg Last edited by silvermist99; 09-21-2010 at 08:43 PM.. |

Look at MGP Caliper Covers. Same effect and you can take them off when lease is over. I have done both and would not paint again. The covers will also help with the brake dust.

It took them about an hour and it was well worth the $80. I could have prob done it myself if i had the time, but considering i have to go buy everything and my time, this was worth it!! I also had ALOT of rust on my hubs
