My Mille Evo5's will be here monday. I am going to paint my brake calipers this weekend. What kind of paint are you supposed to use? Where is the best place to get it? and What color do you recommend for a 02 white maxima?

 

I'm bought the folia tec brake caliper paint "system". Comes with brake cleaner, two part brush on paint and instructions. Most people I think just use high temperature paint. I choose red as my color. Good luck and post some pics when you are finish!!!

 

Yeah my brother did his w/ high temp paint and it looks fine. Plus it's a lot cheaper, but that's up to you. There was a thread discussing the exact issues not long ago. But i'm no SEARCHING for you . . .

 

check out my web page I painted mine white. Got the spray paint from R & S Strauss. I used the high heat spray paint.

Go to page 17 for a great writeup on painting your calipers
by one of our .org members(Pmas76). He has a great
site as well, check it out. Very informative!
Hope this helps,Enjoy.

 

I used plain ol' engine enamel paint after i sprayed the calipers with brake cleaner...worked like a charm. I used 3 coats with one can and its still looking good...check out my homepage for some pics...i also have Mille Miglia Evos!

 

what the hell is that on back of your bumper?

 

I sprayed the cheap stuff in an empty paint can and brushed it on. No overspray, very easy.

 

I read that you live in Phoenix...wassup? Southwest Autoworks has a kit for painting them if you want to go that way with like 6 diff. colors. If you've never been there we should meet up and head over.

 

I live in North PHX. Where is your store located? What price?

 

that's the bumper guard...you'll need one if you live in a crowded metropolitan areas like New York city..

any high temperature paint should suffice. you can get these at your local pepboys or kragen.

 

Its both on the back and front fo his car. I think its fugly but thats just my .2 cents. If he likes it all the power to him, hopefully no hard feelings

 

It's not his store. It's at 32nd St and T-Bird. And I think it's like $35.

 

Awww, thanks man. You took the words right out of my mouth.
