If you prep and make sure everything is all clean you should have any chipping. I used the kit and its holding up great.

Bought the Kit, Think it was Duplicolour, and it held up nice, except in 12 months both calipers died at cold -38 w/piston Seal Failure. The Newest Mopar one I got came in Black, we'll see how long it stays nice. Don't Wanna paint the other Rebuild as it will prolly leak during next cold snap.

Anyone know if powder coating would work? There's a shop down the street from me that does it. Just curious.

I used the rattle can duplicolor caliper paint on mine, hardly prepped, wiped off with a degreaser and painted. held up over a year now. only look dirty when they have break dust on em, other than that bright red.

Caliper covers are great [I've used them in the past with excellent results/longevity though they're not cheap] but who makes caliper covers for the 4th Gen Rams?
