dont you have to use temperature resistant paint? since it gets really hot on heavy and frequent braking?

 

there are caliper paint kits at Kragen or autozone...u can just pick one of those up...

and yea they should b temp resistant paints.

 

Mine were painted with teh same paint as the car, and they lasted like 7 years/

 

i see you dont break as hard as others =p
me too im on neural most of the time. and let drag slow me down.

 

7 years?

 

i couldnt go half a year w/o a little chipping

 

You want to go with High Performance Caliper Paint.
It contains Ceramic Resins and can be put on without Removing the calipers.
Some Nice Cool colors.
Check out DupliColor. Found in most auto stores.

isnt dupilcolor found in homedepot? or its not the right kind?

 

yea prob.but you gotta make sure you get high heat paint.
i just used high heat engine paint for mine, found at autozone. worked great.

 

will krylon work? my sister has a yellow car and i guess she doesnt slam the breaks too hard...

when i have the time i'll try it. and if it comes off i'll just sand it off and use whats recommended.

 

im pretty sure they have high heat yellow engine paint at autozone.

 

even with the high performance caliper paints, chipping will happen sooner or later...rock chips, weather, break dust, all the elements...it will eventually show some wear and tear just like the paint on your car.

 

i used the duplicolor spray can last night on my calipers and it did really well. i replaced all my pads anyway so taking the calipers most of the way off wasn't an issue for me. however, if i were to do it again i think i would go with the paint brush style duplicolor kit. after i got the pads in and the caliper back together i could see a few spots that could use a touch up, and with a spray can that can get nasty while the caliper is back on your rotor and whatnot.

my opinion, but yeah, duplicolor is where it's at ;)

 

Get VHT HIGH TEMP caliper paint. DO NOT get the autozone stuff.

 

its duplicolor, not autozone.
its not affiliated with autozone in any way, its just sold there, and its not cheap quality, thats what everyone uses.

 

I just did mine recently using the duplicolor caliper paint, I'm very happy with em:

 

G2 is better i think it has higher temp resis like 900 compare to 500 of dupli but in the end its in the prep you do, if you don't sand right and stuff it doesn't matter which brand you use.

 

I used like 2 dolla general purpose paint

just do good prep work and good clear coat

 

I know Duplicolor isn't cheap quality....I used in on my TC the first time I painted the calipers. The second time, I used VHT and I find VHT just has a more rich looking color/shine to their paint.

 

some high tempt duplicolor spray paint's have vibrant ___ red's

so go to autozone or pep boys and take a look
