painting calipers

trueballerisme · October 29th, 2007, 10:05 PM

How do you guys reccomend I go about painting my calipers. What's the easiest and I would rather not remove my calipers because I have no idea how to do it.

I have a paint kit. Not a spray so I'm guessing I could do it without removing the rim or maybe just take off the rim?

i used gloss black spray paint on mine.. just took off the wheels and went to town on the calipers.. they turned out PERFECT

one, dont click "new topic" 5 times. that normally helps.

and two, if you dont remove the rim, your gonna fuck something up. take off the rims, put it on jack stands, paint the calipers, and let the car sit for 24 hours with out driving

Did mine a few weeks ago...
You have to take the rim off. I highly recommend talking the caliper off. It's so easy dude! There are 2 bolts on the caliper. If you can play with lego's, you can take off a caliper! I took my front calipers off and didn't take my rears off... The fronts turned out soo much better.

ahaha. welcome to moddedmustangs mr.douche

your real good at making friends.

texas_mustang · October 30th, 2007, 08:56 PM

and regency, i paid for my car MY self, and i pay for gas and insurance.

I drove my first car off the lot. and i gotta tell you, paying for stuff your self feels so much better than getting it for free.

Now when you get the car paid for you can get some more education and improve your language. Nobody likes a wise yungun.

Hey bro shut up. Give the kid respect for paying for a car that costs $20k by himself at 17.
