the calibers of my brakes were already painted when i bought it. . .what should i do to strip off the paint? and what kindve paint would i buy if i wanted to paint it a different color. Thanks

 

you could use zip strip, and then take laquer thinner and clean it up but don`t get any on the rubber parts, and for the paint i got some VHT from summit 8 bucks haven`t came in yet though so can`t tell how it works yet.

 

use "dads paint stripper" blue can buy it k mart, just spray it on and watch the paint peel away.

 

you have to watch out for rubber parts this **** is wicked.

 

rubber parts like???

Brake lines.

As for stripping, you could go to Home Depot and buy a can of Jasco paint stripper. Its a goldish can, that **** is strong, spray on and the paint will come off like butter on....i dunno....something thats hot lol

 

all of your dust boots. you have three on each caliper, one for your piston, and two, one for each bolt.

 

errr anyway i can protect these rubber parts and does anyone have a picture where they can point out the dust boots, it would be really helpful to me

 

or can i just sand off the paint? so i dont put any of the rubber parts at risk?

 

I'ld probly just be lazy about it and get some Hi Temp black paint and go over them with that. Much easier than stripping it

 

what kindve paint should i use? im going to paint them red. . .and recommendations

 

Yeah, it would be easier to paint over it then to strip it and ruin all your seals. there is special brake caliper paint that is resistive to high temps and sticks AWESOME. Its brake caliper paint, get it at pep boys, VIP, etc.

 

ruin all my seals? help help what do you mean? i might just sand it off, i have all weekend anyway. . .will any kind of high temp paint work?
