Painting Brake Calipers

Ticket-Me-Yellow · May 22nd, 2007, 09:21 PM

how hard is it to paint brake calipers? Also how do u remove the caliper?

ESG-642T · May 22nd, 2007, 09:22 PM

1.) Its easy

2.) You don't have to take it off you can use newspaper and tape it to the rotors so you don't get it over them. If you take them off you have to bleed the brake lines....

ESG-642T · May 22nd, 2007, 09:31 PM

Not really, but I would just use news paper and paint them that way -

Ticket-Me-Yellow · May 22nd, 2007, 09:57 PM

anyone? what kinds did you use?

ESG-642T · May 22nd, 2007, 10:00 PM

Painted mine with high temp engine paint......

I'm thinking it was duplicolor -

Ticket-Me-Yellow · May 22nd, 2007, 10:08 PM

oh u used engine paint not caliper paint?

kerry · May 22nd, 2007, 10:12 PM

yea i used dublicolor and first i used a wire brush to clean off the rust and w/e else is on it. then spray the degreaser. my kit came with a paint brush so i paintbrushed all the calipers w/o taking them off. then did a second coat and let it dry. looks amazingly better. oh and while you are there throw on a set of drilled/slotted rotors and it really spices things up.

Ticket-Me-Yellow · May 22nd, 2007, 10:18 PM

damn dude looks nice. DO u think i should use yellow for mine? also paint should i paint the whole thing? because it seems like to me just to paint the grey part but do the whole thing?

Ticket-Me-Yellow · May 22nd, 2007, 10:25 PM

Ticket-Me-Yellow · May 22nd, 2007, 10:34 PM
