Painted My Calipers
 
So I painted them silver i didnt want to stand out that much I also used polak 's stencils Overall good job and didnt take that long just time between coats was longest wait. I need to do some touchups and dont mind curb rash thats next on my to do list.What you think?
By the way had alot left over if someone local wants paint.

That looks great!

did you have to remove the caliper and rotor to do this?

Raptor2k 03-24-2007 03:04 PM

I painted mine recently too...red. I went ahead and just painted the brake pads too, masking tape couldnt cover everything anyway.

Hero: no, you don't have to, but if you have the tools to do so that would be a good idea.

No but it was easy to do, so i did. Just 2 bolts and your done i left the brake line connected
and propped it up. and definetly go with the brush on it was real easy

How did you prep the calipers for the paint?

RX8Carnage 03-24-2007 07:57 PM

Easy Prep
 
Prep Was Easy the kit I bought had caliper cleaner(brake cleaner same stuff) I just sprayed used a old toothbrush and wiped off the dust it said to sand but i didnt and it still came out pretty good
