caliper paint duration
I want to know how long everyone's paint on their calipers has lasted?
Name of paint and how many layers would help. |
a lot of it depends on surface preparation
|
The longer you want that caliper paint to last, the longer you will clean the caliper beforehand. That was the rule of thumb I went by when painting and prepping mine. I had good results with the G2 kit, from tirerack.
|
i cleaned and prepped pretty good, but the fronts have diminished faster than the rear, my guess is the constant abuse the front gets compared to the back. i have duplicolor about 14 months now.
|
i used duplicolor black 6 months ago, 2 coats ,also did rotor hats.......
i plan on a new coat in 6 more months,i still have plenty of paint...... looks a hell of alot better |

I did mine a while back and they still look great. There are two minor chips courtesy of my dealership that I will fix at some point. I wash my wheels, hubs and calipers every week as well. |
I did Duplicolor and that has lasted about 10K without any fading. depends on the prep, and conditions. i put 3 coats on

mine lasted over 2 years before I touched them up. (and they didn't really need a touch up, I was just bored)

come to think of it, im bored now... haha. now where's my black caliper paint...
|
hard to find G2 around here. I went with duplicolor.
|
G2 isn't sold in retail stores.
|
tirerack.com
|
This is why flat black is best!
|

ngo: I expect to see freshly painted calipers at SS |
Hot Pink! Please!
|
I'll order you some hot pink. If I do, you gotta paint them
