painting caliper void warranty?

Will painting the caliper ( i hope thats what it is. the large block that sits on the edge of the rotor applies the brake pad to the rotor.) void the warranty on my 03 4runner. cause there kinda an eye soar to me. No one else would notice them, but I do and thats what matters?

Any paint manufacturer recommendations?

go to your local ricer shop and get two part expoxy paint, comes with brush and brake cleaner, your black rig will look sharp with all 4 brake caliper painted red, about 40 buck for paint kit.:pig:

I've seen caliper paint at a few different auto parts stores, its fairly common. Shouldn't matter a bit on the warranty.
