Painted Calipers

BlackedOut04GT · October 31st, 2009, 07:06 AM

So my front left caliper was bad, got new ones from Ford (no not the cobra ones, no money for that), and got the Dupli-Color caliper paint kit. Took me a few hours, 4 coats of paint each, but I got the front calipers done and one the car. They look soo much nicer now.

I just need to get the rear calipers done.

I'll post some pics of the calipers on the car later when the sun is out.

sweet, I went the easy route and just bougt cal covers

BlackedOut04GT · October 31st, 2009, 07:32 AM

lol. I was looking at them before, the paint was cheaper. I went with the brush kit. I think it's better the a spray can.

Molitor · October 31st, 2009, 08:24 AM

yeah, I love my cal covers, they look freakin sweet and really set off the car. I looked at a brush kit too, thats what I would have gotten

I used the spray. went on nice and easy. Smooth finish. On my 3000gt I used the brush and had brush marks. was not to impressed. I think the Spray is easier to use.

I think the spray can is the easiest way to go and also the best looking

dannyboy281 · November 1st, 2009, 07:44 PM

lets see some pics with them on the stang they look good...i really want to see the pics because mine is black as well also how much was the kit

Bstang03 · November 1st, 2009, 07:46 PM

BlackedOut04GT · November 2nd, 2009, 12:48 AM

Ok, here are some pics with fronts painted. Still waiting for the caliper tool for the rears.

Molitor · November 2nd, 2009, 01:01 AM

lookin good!

BlackedOut04GT · November 2nd, 2009, 03:26 AM

When I do the rear calipers, I am going to paint the caliper brackets black so that they match the fronts. I hope I can have it all done by the weekend.

An82Mustang · November 2nd, 2009, 07:34 AM

Looks great!

i used the brush on caliper paint kit by duplicolor and it worked amazing. i am just mad cuz i had them all done amazing and then i had two front calipers go out on me. so i put the new ones on and could not paint them because i needed my car asap. so now i have to wait till summer.

Thats sucks. Yea the brush kit is great. I am just hoping that the rear calipers don't have a problem when I take them off. If they do, then I am going to have to work out a deal with getting new rear calipers from the rents.

Do I really need to worry about heat with the caliper brackets or will reg black pray paint work fine?

Those look great

BlackedOut04GT · November 10th, 2009, 11:33 PM

I still need to paint the rear ones. I just need to get the black paint for the bracket, and the rear caliper tool. Haven't had any more to use for gas, so I got to wait a little.
