Does anybody have any tips or a write up on painting calipers? I am not sure what color to paint yet I am wanting something to match my black cherry pearl paint and suggestions? thanks in advance...

 

Trust me, everybody will say "try to search next time"

and it is a good idea to do so...

but I did it for you...

it's a pretty easy mod.

 

Very easy mod to do. Got my paint from AutoZone. It is for brake calipers specifically. Also purchased brake cleaner spray. All in all spent less than $10. I removed my front two tires and taped off my vehicle completely, including rotors (everything that you don't want painted) You can also take apart your calipers, but I didn't want to mess with that. Spray down your calipers with the brake cleaner and let dry. It doesn't take long for them to dry. Then spray your calipers with nice even coats. By the way, I sprayed 4 coats on each caliper, letting each one dry in between. Hope this helps. Here are some pics:

 

Spray paint scares me, that's why i liked the Duplicolor kit, it's a brush-on application, but dries nice and smooth. Made for calipers and drums as well. The G2 kit is the same, just a little more $. NO OVERSPRAY anywhere...

My favorite new product for taping stuff of before painting is Glad Press and Seal wrap. Stuff works great. Just stick it where you want it...

 

Yes spray paint is a little on the scarey side so make sure you do it outside on a nice calm day. No wind helps with overspray problems. ScionicMan, I like your idea on the Glad press and seal, very ingenious of you.

 

Where can you buy the Duplicolor kit?

BTW looks great Yelosub...

 

Wal-Mart for around $15. Many auto parts stores carry it as well. eBay if you don't have access to those...

 

Thx Boxer Rebellion. I believe you can get the Duplicolor kit at most Checker Auto Parts Stores. Also known as www.partsamerica.com I hope this helps

 

Danke.

 

looks good

 

I wanted the alloy look, so I used Eastwoods' Stainless Steel paint for manifolds and headers. It's nice and thick and made to withstand high temps.

 

Got any pics of that?
