Painting Calipers

[Remedys]

What are you guys using to paint your calipers, just high heat paint? Or are you getting the caliper painting kit?

Ask Chris, not sure what the stuff is called but it lasts forever!

Just did mine with a Dupli-Color kit, I was looking for the high heat spray paint. I ended up with the brake cleaner and a small can of brush on enamel. I am very happy with the results. I masked everything off I did not want painted and did not have to deal with any over spray on any other parts. It is dry to the touch in 1/2 hr.

Re: Painting Calipers

Just get the kit, it lasts as long as you clean the calipers before you paint em. Use some degreasing type cleaner and a brush.

Re: Painting Calipers

Get a stiff wire brush as it will help a ton. I used the kit about 5 years ago and although it is a bit chipped it still looks good.

Re: Painting Calipers

I used the duplicolor kit and a wire brush on a drill to clean them up combined with some simple green degreaser, but make sure you dont get any on the pads.

I did them in yellow the weekend, I may have to touch it up this coming weekend, will see after the weather this week. The kit made it simple but the yellow needed five coats since the paint goes on thin.
