Re: Has anyone here painted their calipers? (archive)

What color is your car and what was the name of the paint specifically? Also do you have any tips, are there any parts that you have to make to stay away from? Thanks alot. BTW my car is artic grey.

Mine look ugly unpainted and I was wondering has anyone painted or had them painted? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks

painted mine black with high temp engine paint looks great and shiny

the car used to be jet black but I had it repainted in cosmos black, looks great some times brown blue, green,or a purple color, it does take a little work to do cause you have to break down the breaks and all that work is kinda time consumig but can be done in a day I did mine on a saturday along with rotors and brakes I used the 3m stuff from pep boys cleaned all the parts throughly with brake cleaner and a rag and then started the painting waited till dry and then put on another coat let it dry and then put it all back together looks really good been done for about a year, starting to loose some of its luster so I will be doing it again maybe this time I will clear coat them to see if it will last a little longer. Good luck
