Painting Brake Calipers

[banzai]

Figured this would apply to exterior section. And dont criticize me for not searching, I dont f**king do that s**t. Anyway, anybody paint their brake calipers yet? What paint did you use? The only stuff I found online was that G2 kit s**t. Wonder if that works good. Granted, I didnt look to hard, thats why I posted here. Respond por favor

Any type of high temperature spray paint should work fine..

 

[DirtyD]

yea, why are you searching online? go to autozone and pick yourself up some high heat paint... dont forget to sand the surface down first

 

[tonyM]

you know make caliper paint ..

 

[Spencey]

yep, its high temp paint but it just says caliper paint on it. Another way to make more money, there couldn't be much difference.

some company came out with a kit for that nto that long ago, it may hav ebeen dupi color, they sell it in wa-mart autozone..etc. Only comes in yellow and red though

Remove the rust and debrey (sp) from the caliper. Prime it. High temp paint. Clearcoat works wonders on calipers.

ight cool...theres no rust on my calipers by the way. I clean that s**t, and my wheels almost every time I wash my car.

Get the brush not the spray.. if you want it too look really clean..
brush it on and let it dry a few times.. do a few layers and when your done it will look really smooth..

 

[banzai]

yea, I cant find any good high temp paints that I like...I think i'm gonna get that kit on ebay, its only like 18 bucks. Big f**king deal, can a paint is 5...

 

[joe7987]

[banzai]

I didnt realize how f**king hilarious this was the first time I read it...

 

[banzai]

quite the comic eh? It proves my laziness...

 

[banzai]

hell yea, page 2 own3d

painted mine with a 'caliper painting kit' spray.. too glossy for my taste but looks better than original.

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

same for the drums in the back?

well simce we are on the subject... i have a few dos and donts id at least THINK about before painting brake components..

to me.. painting stock brakes some loud obnoxious color like red... draws attention away from the rest of the car and redirects it to your STOCK brakes... which is IMHO stupid.. painting brake components black, gray, etc to make them more clean looking.. is not bad, but anything like yellow, red, orange.. why do it??? and PLEASE dont EVER paint rear drums anything except black.. it looks like s**t.. the only time i think you can ever get away with painting stock calipers red, is if you have some sick big slotted, or cross drilled rotors..
