Wsup. My 5g lude has the calipers painted by the previous owner. i just bought some caliper paint today so i could repaint them. do i have to remove the old caliper paint before i repaint them? can i paint over the old caliper paint?

 

Is it the same color?

I'd imagine that you could. I'd ruff up the old paint some to help the new paint stick better.

 

i would sand them down as much as possible. i believe the caliper paint is self priming because of the heat output. so buy the color you want... or leave them sanded

 

X 2 get as much of the old paint off as you can and spray alot of brake cleaner to prep the caliper for paint. I assume you already know this but the brush on caliper paint with ceramic looks better than the spray one and lasts longer. The brush on looks closer to powder coated than the spray on stuff does.

 

if youre picky like me, you can remove the calipers and soak them in aircraft paint stripper for 30 mins, then simply wipe off the old paint. leaves a perfect surface to paint and the paint usually looks more professional.

 

I appreciate all the answers. thx.
