My rear brake is rusting and Iam looking for ideas to cover or paint. $79 for a cover seems steep. Any pictures would be helpful.

I painted mine

The vendors have a cover for that, powder coated typically.
I guess it's possible to take it apart and paint it, but with that spring, could be a PITA, never tried.

Slingmods has it listed as discounted thats why its cheaper buy the looks of it
-
Look at the original price on the Slingmods listing though, he's still higher.
Just keeping Kev honest

oH YES , wokka LOOKS LIKE Bullet has a better price on those now, good eye. So its been adjusted on my site back to Bullets MSRP of $ 129.99 Of course with our price match its always available at Slingmods sale price too , plus 5% back in points . Slingmods does a great job of rotating discounted sale prices on some items always, but its hard to keep track of until somebody points it out to us.
P.S you can always ask Slingmods to price match our price match guarantee ,Plus 5 % back in points , lol But I can tell you right now, aint going to happen , So sometimes dealing with the little guys PAYS OFF, even though the mega guys have all the buying power, Hmm,,,

Rattle can Hi-Temp Engine spray is the best and cheapest way to go as far as I'm concerned. I have done this to every vehicle I've purchased over the years, as the sight of rusty, bare metal brake calipers triggers my OCD. Pretty easy to do. You don't even have to remove the calipers if you don't want to. Just use newspapers and blue painters tape to tape off, and cover areas you don't want painted. Then use some paint thinner afterwards to clean up any over-spray. I apply a couple coats of silver Hi-Temp spray first, then a couple coats of the red. Of course you can use any color you like. I also did the same to the metal brake and emergency brake hardware on the back side of the caliper using Hi-Temp black. I did this to my Sling when I got it home new in 2015, and the calipers and hardware still look like they were just painted to this day.

It really does look much nicer when it covered
Also doesn't hurt that I got it as a gift from roadog1aj
and it literally only takes a few minutes to install....
