Im considering doing this to my BSP this weekend.. im thinking red or blue.. whats the best way to go about doing this?

 

Check the tech section. I believe they have a couple of DIY's on painting calipers

 

removing the wheels, cover everything other than the calipers, paint paint paint.

 

why paint calipers when you can just a get powdercoated BBK?

 

because the paint kit is only $15




I got the black one. When i did it the second time, i use Q-tip instead of the brush. The Ceramic paint dry up the brush, made it useless.

 

Thanks.. i was thinking white but i heard it would get dirty to fast? what do u guys think.... second choice is red but every1 has red basically...

wahts a bbk?

 

bbk
big brake kit.

 

I'd have to look into that... what do you guys think abou the white? itll get 2 dirty?

 

either red or black!!!!
white you will regret unless you wanna spend alot of time keeping them white.
and i used the brush on type and worked fine.
my2cents.....

 

I think i might do mine white...if it gets too dirty and is a pain to keep clean then i might go to a different color

 

Yeah idn how to do mine... black i think wont be noticable enough... ill prob go red... i went to autozone and i didnt find that caliper painting kit.. any other places to look or order online?

 

If you still have stock calipers, go gloss black or silver. I hate seeing red OEM calipers, it makes them look like knock-off Wilwood ones. I paint calipers to keep them looking nice and protect against corrosion, not to make them look like fake BBK's. Matching body color would also work and be tasteful, just use the color in the high-temp varient.

Always use a brush too, not a spray can. Overspray will get on the body paint unless you mask pretty much the whole front end and side of the car otherwise.

 

Red doesn't look bad...

I just added a touch of black paint to give the red a richer look. Also, go with the G2 Caliper Paint Kit
over the Dupli-Color. This stuff is a lot better. Less touch-ups and comes in more colors. GL.

P.S. I think gold would look hawt on BSP...

 

that doesnt look bad... but yeah i havent decided my color yet, well have to seee... i dont really have a color theme on the exterior yet besides a white logo in the window... but idn... interior theme is blue, so i think its between blue and red

BBK's can be pricey but they are schmexy especially with the right wheel setup

 

have u considered gold?
it will look good!

 

Yah i bet they do look good... but i also dont have 1500$ laying around for stops... lol... for anything really. Lol.

Gold wouldnt really flow w my car tho i do not think

 

i painted mine red with the bush, wasnt hard at all, looks good for $15
part that sucked the most was jacking up the car with the jack the car came with.

im way over due for touching them up

haha and i know i can live without a $1500 bbk setup

 

haha, u got any piks of ur calipers? and where did u get ur kit from?

 

yep, heres a ishtty picture from a 6 months ago.

i used red duplicolor caliper paint. i picked it up at autozone for under$20
they had like black, red, and yellow

painting my calipers really brings out how small they are
