Is there any write up on how to paint your calipers? Do you all have any tips? How many coats of high temp. paint should be used? Will paint cause heat build up?

Thanks,
MAXecutive

 

remove ur wheeels, put newspaper around the calipers, spray and pray, wait, wait, wait some more, pur ur wheels back on, take picture.

 

^^^^^do what happy says. And do a about 3 or 4 coats to make sure that the paint stays on. Here is a slow @ss link to be a guide. Good luck!

i used this stuff. its really easy, and comes out looking great. also, its easy to clean. just hose off the brake dust and its all shiny again! highly recommend it!

 

btw, i bought mine from the tire rack

 

Guttermouf5150 how long does a few coats from the G2 last without fading or coming off, or pealing? I don't want to pay that much if it is the same a some duplicolor paint I could get a the store for $3.00...

 

im not sure how long it will last, but i have had mine on for about two months and it still looks beautiful. i tried with spray at first, and it just didnt look good. this stuff is very glossy once it sets. and it is like a very hard shell over the metal. they have a lifetime warranty against cracking or chipping. they said that if it did, just contact them, and they would send me a new batch! that sounds like confidence in a product to me. and it hasnt faded a bit. when i wipe the brake dust off with a damp cloth, they very shiny and look very pretty.

i would definitely buy again.

 

couldn't find it on their site...

very interesting...did anyone here try it and how do you like it? (i know one person tried it)

 

well I used regular high heat paint, I'll try and get some pics up later on today. I also painted a ring on the rotor so it looks nicer when the car is in motion.

 

Just use Duplicolor, man.
Get it from Autozone.
Do what Happyricefob said.
Don't take the calipers off the wheel.
clean off with some engine degreaser or wheel cleaner.
Spray a few coats, allowing to dry how long the paint says on can.
I used Duplicolor Clear coat.
It takes a long time to dry, but it makes it even more shiney.
Mine is every bit as shiny as the G2 kits I have seen.
It only cost like $8 to do.
Go for it.
