So i was thinking of repainting my wilwood BBK, it has a few minor scratches from rocks and kinda looks old and want to see if i can repaint it maybe from the black to red. so i was wondering if anyone has done something like this, no not on stock brakes but on aftermarket ones. i was thinking of maybe getting it heat coated so it looks professional and the paint stays on also if doing this is safe or not for my BBk? Some people have told me to use high heat engine enamal on it, but wanted to see what the scion community thinks about that idea.

 

Aaahh crap I accidently put it on the xa/xb thread. Eeehhhh its cool I guess I'm only asking about repainting my bbk anyways lol.

 

Sounds like to much of a headache. Just give it to me and buy a new one!! J/K man, good luck with the project.

 

High temp engine enamel would likely be your best bet. You'd need to strip the existing paint on the caliper though. That's going to be the biggest pain.

 

Nice info!


Thx

thanks burstaneurysm i will do that, ill post pixs of it when im done with it. red wilwood brakes with black or white lettering. hahaha funny post btw lil will. its a good thing i got a really good deal on the wilwood.

 

I did my friends went from black to green i fully took the whole thing i striped the paint and then i primered them with high temp engine paint used white then used the lime green and then i made a stincil for the letters then taped it to it and sprayed them red looks nice. I wish i had a pic but my friend took of to a diff station.

 

oh thanks TheCCBox, yea my friend and i are going to do it this Saturday and he said something about making a stencil also for it.

 

No prob you might like it.

 

I havde been thinking about repainting my BBK to the endless blue to match the color my car. But you need to powercoat them.

 

why i didnt do it to my friends and i used the highest engine temp i think the 2500 degrees one the one with the orange temp lable from and auto parts store and they are still looking like i just did them i seen pictuers the other day.

 

^^If you dropped 1k for the BBK. I would only let professional paint it. Also, with powercoating its more durable than rattle can paint.

 

Ya that is true it is your brakes you do what you want man lol
