I need any information on how to do this (Paint Calipers).

 

is been covered countless time...
use the search function please

 

Well I have done the search and some stuff has come up. There is nothing there but garage about garage and nothing on a Step by Step process. Also it's hard to do anything when people don't reply to their post. Such as this.

Hi-temp paint and masking tape. You can also use a paint brush, that is what i did to avoid overspray.

 

I did it and I took my time. It took me about 10 hours to get the job done. I used masking tape (tons of it) to mask every little thing that I didn't want painted. I used a bunch of old newspaper (so your mom doesn't kick your *** for using todays ) and a bunch of brake cleaner. I sprayed 4 coats of red and two coats of clear. They came out good. Here's a picture





Don't rush it and will turn out good.

Looks like you painted the backs of the pads, too. If you have 10 hours, you might as well just take the calipers off the car completely, which is what I did for my old car's calipers. I also used a Dremel w/ wire brush to clean them, because chemical cleaners weren't working. I sprayed several coats of 1200 deg. white, 1200 deg. red, then 500 deg. clear.

the only information you need is DONT DO IT

 

painted calipers is fo stunnas.

 

true, I prefer the stock brass color of my calipers (I just need to clean them).

The calipers on my old car were a crappy bare metal color

 

Well i guess i'm a stunna then.

 

I don't want to hate at all, but that 10 hours could have been used to hussle, steal (j/k), sell drugs, or legitly worked hourly, or whatever to pay for a set of wilwood brake calipers, real performance, real style. IMHO.

 

Im a stunna too...

 

painted calipers is not for stunnas, its for those with a lot of time on their hands to make sure that the calipers are clean...

i like my stock NISSIN calipers, they are a jolly bronze color!

 

i'm not up to the task of painting calipers, but how does the laquer look compared to spray paint?

 

what about powercoat?
