I painted my brake calipers last night. Cleaned the calipers up real good with some brake cleaner. Masked them off and sprayed 4-5 coats With VHT high temperature spray paint.

I think they turned out great. I went with a Bronze metallic rather then a popular color like red.





Sorry for the horrible pictures. My phone's camera isn't very good.

You didn't go with red.. Thank the Lord.

They look pretty good. When I do my pads/rotors I think I might go with that same color. They'll match my rusty lug nuts nicely.

Yeah, red is

They look nice. I can see you painted the mounts also.

I painted my calipers and mounts black to blend in with the grease and oil they collect.

Grease and oil?? There shouldnt be any grease and oil on the mounts...if there is you got something going on you need to fix

EDIT:

A lil thread jacking but....

the metallic is cool, but for some reason im thinkin a bright candy yellow. Wd look sick on the pearly white!!

If you don't have any grease in your caliper mounts (brackets) then your pads and rotors will be shaving away much faster. The mounts have holes that the guide pins slide into. Those pins need to kept greased so the pads and rotors meet evenly when the claiper piston applies pressure.

looks good

looks great, wish I didn't have my stock hubcaps still

Yep still planning on coming over when I get off work around 3pm. Green might look pretty good. I had a hard time deciding which color I wanted. Make sure you get the VHT high temperature stuff or it'll just flake off over time.

By the time I finished this project the sun had gone down and my work lights washed out my crap phone camera to much to get a decent picture. I plan on changing my pads in a few weeks so I'll get some pics with the wheel off then.

Personally I'm not a fan of the color yellow. I hate yellow cars and or pretty much yellow anything. Except bananas. I like bananas. Plus something tells me yellow would be difficult to keep clean, like white. I already have enough problems keeping my pearl white paint clean.

I did mine red.

Your's looks good. Did you pull the calipers off and sprayed them?

infinimax96

Every Honda civic around here has a huge fiberglass spoiler with red calipers.

I didn't pull them off because that would require bleeding etc etc. I just pulled the wheel off and masked everything that I didn't want sprayed and then did 5 coats of paint. After it was dry removed the masking and replaced the wheel and let the car sit over night (about 12hours) before driving it.

Looks good , I was thinking to do mine yellow, gold, or red don't know any other color that would look good with the color of my car unless maybe silver idk

Mine are yellow lol

I did mine while I was replacing the rear calipers so I ended up pulling the fronts as well. I'd bet you couldn't stop looking and admiring the finished product once completed.

After remounting my painted calipers it took less than 5 minutes to bleed the air out with those speedbleeder valves.

Looks good. Plan on gong mine within the next month, or before the weather gets too cold to paint.

What color would best go with mine? and yes they are red but the paint is old so i need to repaint them

infinimax96

I'm doing the pads in a week or two so I'll get a good pic with my roomies 12MP camera while I've got the wheel off.

The yellow on black actually looks pretty nice.

I personally think the bronze that I did would look good on any shaded color car, such as black, white or grey. It helps the car stand out nicely on a well lit landscape.

I actually caught some younger guys (probably still in High school) taking pics of my Max when I walked out of the store yesterday. They said it was the nicest looking Nissan they've seen in the area and gave me props. One of them actually thought it was an Altima... Either way it still made me feel good about my car.

So then bronze or yellow? Because its gunmetal grey and I just wanted to see a good color because red is too common. Thats cool that highschoolers thought it was cool because most students at my school hate on my car but then again they just have ricers well hondas lol

infinimax96

I'd go with the bronze. I think it would contrast the gunmetal great.

I like, I went with black myself though....

infinimax96

I prefer the Bronze Brembo's myself.

How can you see them if they are black though?

xWTFxREALLYx

iTrader: (1)

:Yeah those are the ones i meant lol

infinimax96

Brembo also makes Yellow Calipers. But I still prefer the Bronze.
