We offer the G-2 Manufacturing Brake Caliper PaintSystem. This kit was developed to show off a vehicle’s brake components through open-spoke style alloy wheels. It can be used to give all of a vehicle’s stock brake calipers the look of expensive, painted, high performance calipers, as well as add color to rear drum brake-equipped vehicles. Easily applied as a brush-on, the PaintSystem Set is engineered for universal application on automotive brake calipers and drums, and will even help protect these vital brake components from potentially harmful oils, chemicals and rust.
The PaintSystem Sets are available in eight high-gloss, wear-resistant colors that can be selected to complement or contrast a vehicle’s primary and/or accent colors. Available colors include: Red, Yellow, Blue, Silver, Gold, Black, Purple, Green and White.

Our experience indicates that a PaintSystem Set provides sufficient materials to paint 4 brake calipers, or 2 brake calipers and 2 brake drums. However vehicles with large brake calipers on the front axle and large brake drums on the rear axle may require two complete PaintSystem Sets to assure adequate coverage.

Two-part paint system does not require caliper removal
High-gloss finish
Colors are fade resistant
Seals and protects
Heat-resistant up to 950º F
Suitable for race cars, too
Oil and chemical resistant

i've used it before , it's pretty good stuff

 

The Duplicolor kit is about the same, looks good and only costs about 15 bucks.

IMO, it's a must for any xB with wheels, the OEM brake calipers are this nasty blue-grayish color...

Here's mine with the yellow Duplicolor, a very close match to the GoldLine springs and it definitely draws people's eyes, especially with my wheels...

 

hey mark where do they have "oversize" parking lots? thats new to me.

 

Yeah, the xA is the same, that's why I plan on painting mine gloss black (not too showy and looks better than stock)

Do you know how long it takes for the paint to dry? Is it safe to put back on the wheels while they're drying?

 

what color calipers look good for a bop ?


black?

 

The oversized spots are at this new parking garage in Livermore, I could almost fit parking sideways, haha

I foget how long they said to let it dry, but it's pretty fast. I did mine at night and let it dry before I put the wheels back on the next day... but I have a garage to do it in...
