Brake Caliper Paint

[Mrc1982]

No they dont. I used the duplicolor paint and you can just tape off the brake lines and all surronding areas to keep the paint getting on them. The kit was like $17 dollars and came with the paint brush, tape and paint. Looks good to and easy to do.

I just bought a new set of R1 Concepts cross drilled/slotted rotors and stop-tech pads and figure I mind as well get some caliper paint because they carry G2 Hight Temp caliper paint. I'm just not sure which color I should get. Wanted to get input from the fellow members. Here's the link http://www.r1concepts.com/caliper-paint.aspx

I think out of thoes colors I'd stick with black or sliver....or hot pink on 1 side and green on the other :wink (2):

I think either the silver or the gold may work with your color, good luck!

Thanks for the replies. I ended up getting silver, I just want a nice clean stock look. Going to probably do them in a few weeks once the roads clean up.

Do they make silver... I have black rims... maybe i should just clean my calipers and call it a day?

do the calipers need to be removed when painting them?

Threre are 2 ways to do it. If you use G2 (uses a brush), or Duplicolor (spray) you can just mask off and leave the calipers on. You will get a better outcome if you take them off, as the ENTIRE caliper will be painted. I used G2, and it came out great. I will say it is impossible to get the whole caliper (the parts behind and under), but your never going to see that anyways.
