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

 

Can you buy caliper covers??

 

haha yeah theres these fake brembo covers you can put on so it looks like you spent 3000 dollars for a big brake kit. suuuuuuuper ricey.

 

steelbluedink?

as to the op question, i think i have about 18 months on a pretty good cleaning job before applying the g2 good stuff.

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

 

+1 But they do get chips from road debris I used g2 caliper paint by the way.

 

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.

This is why flat black is best!

 

you painted your calipers flat black???

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
