Painting Calipers

Since I don't have the money for bigger calipers and rotors just yet, I decided to paint them using duplicolors caliper kit.. stuff works great.. Check out the pics.. car was on stands for a few days, cause I didnt have time to do it all in one sitting, probably about 6 hours work here for 1 person to do all 4.

Nice man. I've used it before also. I've always had good results with it

looks good- i think im gonna put some red on mine when i get the garage built

Looks like you did a great job. I really want to do this on my car.

Its really easy Cat, just get some jack stands and go after it.

you goin to do red as well- i think that will look great with those wheels

Yeah, I would do red with those black wheels too Cat.

Just finished this project on the Porsche last week. You are right, it does take a long time to do with just one person, but the results are def worth the time. Looks Great Dark Sol!

Thanks Bob, got pictures of your final?

What did you use to clean them up before painting? I'm going to be painting mine blue sometime maybe Wednesday or Thursday. I have a cake to make Friday and I gotta deliver it Saturday but I gotta get them painted before the Flag Day Car Show Sunday.

Go to advance. THey sell duplicolor brake caliper cleaning stuff. Get about 4 cans of that, and then 1 duplicolor brush on brake color kit. Clean them with a wire brush and the cleaning stuff. Let them dry completely and then paint them with the kit.

This is really messy and dont get it on your car paint or it will be gone. Takes several coats of paint when painting, probably around 3-5 coats. Mine have 5, I think Aaron went with 3.

ok thank ya.
