I wanna paint my callipers.
so i'm just about ready to start making my tC bling a little. I got the indigo ink, and i'm thinking bout going blue and white on everything... i got the 18" wheel & tire option so i think it'd look really good if i painted the callipers white... what ya'll think? and also, what kinda paint would i need?

get the G@ brake caliper paint system if you want to have a very nice looking caliper
but if ur in a tight budget go to Autozone or the like to get em' and remember to read the label look for something that says can withstand 500+ farhenheit |
specifically "caliper paint"
you can get it at Discount Auto...maybe 5-10 bucks...tops... make sure you do it right the first time... |
sweet. thanks guys.
|
This will have no effect on warranty correct?
|
be sure to post some pics after you paint them.
|
The duplicolor caliper paint kit works great. It's a brush on which I thought was much easier than spray.
|
I painted my calipers and would recomend brush on as opposed to spary. I used a epoxy caliper paint and it dried hard as a rock with no brush strokes. Looks awesome with the 18" spoked wheels. There are other threads on this board and most manufacturers of brake caliper paint have a "How To" section on their website.

grr... i tried a few places around here, and no one has white caliper paint. ):

I'm totally doing this to my white tC. It's gonna look sharp!
|
Thanks for the link! it's a bit more expensive, but i looks like a quality product so i'mma get it... next pay day (: I'm a poor tC owner (hense the cheap mod!) :)
|
You may be able to find it cheaper. I just wanted to show they made a white one and that was the first link I found. I see some on eBay, but not white...
For my wheels, it was a must. The stock color is nasty looking and there's not much to hide them behind... |
The problem with the paint is that the white will get stained and the color will change to a grey almost even if you clean it all the time...and then the calipers will begin to flake off the paint... no matter what

Here's link with a pic or 2 of my red calipers on my Silver tC:
