I know some of you out there have painted your calipers.

Any advise?


All help as to prep, materials, and /or procedures will be greatly appreciated

How's it going nathan?

A lot of guys use Dupli-color caliper paint with good results or a two part epoxy caliper paint.

Use a toothbrush or similar size wire brush and brake cleaner to clean them. Rinse them with water and, if you have one, use a air compressor to dry them, or let them air dry. Then paint. I chose the epoxy over the others because I felt it would hold up better and I wanted the epoxy's higher heat resistance with my brakes.

iagree Good prep advice from Bill. Mask everything off and shoot away. The dupli-color was quick and easy.

What color you going for?
