The "big" thing to do on sports car is to paint the brake calipers.

I was always considering it. Everyone told me to go red but I felt that was tooo loud for my car.


Took me about 3 and half hours. Could be done in a lot less time. The first one took me awhile.

I used Duplicolor's Caliper Kit.

Another member on the club, WB RX-8, had purchased black paint. I went out and bought some silver for a little suprise. I decided to do my calipers themselves black. But visible part of the rotor(non braking surface) I was sick of the rest. So i blended the silver and black to make a more titatinum metallic gray.

I just did this. i did blue. The black doesn't really show up much. But from the pictures you did a good clean job.

 

Should've painted the dust shields while in there, but looks good!

Mine are blue with the dust shields black.

 

wow that cleaned up nice !

 

black is wack...should've gone red like I did.

looks good Scott. Would you mind if I steal some of it to use on my rotors and dust shield?

 

Mazurfer... do you mean dust shield as in metal behind rotor? Cause I painted mine silverish.

Ray if you wanna stop by one day or something. It'll take you no more then 2 hours.

 

Yeah, I guess I didn't look hard enough. Good deal!
I will go look again!

Yep...............you sure did! My bad.

 

Its all good

 

Cool dude. I did mine black too. I'm going red Sunday at Bennys.

 

If i were you, I would paint it in RED, but still nice looking
I painted mine yellow...3 years ago...need some new paint job now =)

 

Looks good................That might be one of my next tasks!.....BTW......what did you use to clean up the calipers prior to painting them?
