whatever you do don't spray paint it lol.


Now why do you people think I would do that? I know you'd think that since I said it...one of my ricer friends spray painted his calipers on his jetta.

I would know better then that...

you can spray paint them, its called high temp paint, go to autozone get the brake caliper paint kit i think its like 15 bucks itll do the job but if not follow instructions above

All I did was use caliper paint and newspaper haha. The caliper paint was around $6.50...I didnt use brake cleaner because my brakes were already clean. They turned out great, I'll post pictures when I get home from school.

yea u can spray paint it, i did that with mine..just cover everything with newspaper after u use brake cleaner to scrub the caliper. do this will make the paint come out brighter with a cleaner caliper. then prolly end up doing like 3 coats of that high temp paint and it will look fine.

yea i did three coats from the autozone kit. use the brake cleaner and i used a wire brush to get the dirt and everything off so that the paint will stick. u really dont need to primer it. 2 coats and it will look amazing.
