Has anybody repainted spoon calipers

I dont like the appearance of the "smurf" blue color the caliper has. If anybody can give me advice/tips on recoating it with another color. Guide me to specific paint products.

I like to have a charcoal black color.

I wouldn't.

Kyle - who will probably leave his sp00m calipers coated with enough brake dust to make them black ...

Re: Has anybody repainted spoon calipers (thk)

I must have deleted the red caliper pic and WTDR is too slow for me to find the pic of Craig's pics...sorry

I do remember the red was nicely done though...

Re: Has anybody repainted spoon calipers (dandc2)

Red would look VERY NICE on a CW ITR (that it for some billet tyype calipers).
However, on the other hand it looks downright shoddy when I see painted stock calipers. Hmmmm ...

That is unless the stocks are painted black. They look clean black.....but it's too much trouble.

Re: Has anybody repainted spoon calipers (ITRChris)

Naw, you pay for a direct replacement/light weight/4-pot caliper that fits under the stock wheels and with the stock OEM rotors!

I might have them anodized red once they need to be taken apart and rebuilt ... one of these days.

i have the smurf brakes also, but i don't plan on painting it. but imo if you don't like the color isn't there any other calibers you could buy and cheaper that would give you the same performance? ex. brembo? or is spoon calipers the best calipers you could get for the price?
this is just my .02
