  • Caliper paint

    What paint do you guys use for painting calipers and any reviews on them? I'm planning to paint my calipers orange with G2 caliper two part epoxy paint but they cost nearly $100 cad shipped, do you guys know anywhere I can get some for reasonable price?

    I've used the Duplicolor in the past, it held up for a couple years. $25 for paint for each caliper doesn't seem like a bad deal.

      Ive used Endura paint on two different cars, both times were custom colours, I did my GTI Kawasaki Green 4 years ago and it still looks brand new, also did my fiancés Jetta Safety Orange a couple years ago and it looks brand new. the GTI was brushed on and the Jetta I got 3 spray cans done up, used 1 can to do all 4 calipers. would recommend doing the spray can if getting it done up, believe it cost me $100 bucks for 3 cans.

        I've used Endura for calipers as well with excellent results.

          Endura but try to let it do a full cure as full chemical resistance takes a 7 day cure.

            Good to hear how you guys like the endura paint, where can I get them in Calgary? And can anyone print some wilwood 4 piston stickers than can stay on the calipers?

              I am still interested in trying out that plastidip method that was mentioned before.

                  I can print the Wilwood decals for you. I've printed quite a few brake caliper decals and they seem to hold up great.
