Brake Caliper Paint

here are my calipers w/old rims when I painted them gloss black. I just used a high temp spray paint and went to town.

Looks good. Did you have to remove your calipers?

I don't like colors to acentuate stock calipers too, looks like it wants to be what it's not... black & silver is nice & clean & looks good though....

now I'm on the fence about if theres a bbk on the front & stock rear, is that ok to go with a color all around? hmm, I want yellow brakes but I'm not going to do bbks all around... dave, getto or no if just the fronts are bbk?:tongue:
 
Not the best scenario, but if it were me, & I was going front BBK only, I would paint all four corners black.. Tiny yellow rear? . . . ghetto . . but you knew that already.
Ho 'bout a ghetto rear spoiler lip? :laugh:
 
Hmm...is it possible to get a "flat" look on the brake calipers? i think a flat black would look tight im not a big fan of the glossy look.
 
Powdercoat look is what you want. You could even do it yourself, cuz they'll fit in your oven. check the reviews section for FXLR8's review of a Pwdrct gun he just got.

Then again, it's not there . . Jeff, can you chime in on this?
 
so i guesss ill just go with the black. you';re right..the red looks bad :( dave can u do a chop of the chrome stockies with red cal. vs stockies with black cal.? i'll be your friend!
 
I highly recommend G2 Caliper paint... it's a 2 part epoxy style and they actually have a lifetime warranty that protects against:

Fading
Chipping
Cracking
Rusting
Peeling
Deteriorating
Etc

I believe they'll give you a whole new kit if you can take pictures showing the caliper paint not holding up... needless to say it will hold up lol...

You have to maintain it though, wiping it with a damp rag during car washes is enough to keep it glossy like the day you put it on.

Dont be such a baby J :cry: FYI, Your wheels look great!
I was playing on your opinion earlier in the day, remember.

VUM stands for Vacuum Metalized.

Chop for you tomorrow, that is if you're not selling your red G2.

Oh ya . . . wahteverrrrrr :smile:
