Re-paint brake caliper

[DRamSrt10]

Is there any spray paint cans or something that I can repaint the brake caliper. They are looking kind of dirty. I want to repaint them into bright red or black.

I found that link but I dont know if it is good or something.

I would recommend this stuff:

My calipers were faded when I picked the truck up from the dealer. This stuff is brush on, but the brush strokes level out and it dries perfectly smooth. They are still as bright as they were over a year ago when I painted them.

Which do you think is the better? I kind of like the eastwoodco.com better.

I used red caliper paint from Brembo Brakes and I've also used red caliper paint from Pepboys. As long as the paint has a ceramic additive, it will hold up well. Powdercoating is viable as long as you want to take them off the truck and take them apart and thern reassemble them. Alot of work for something visual

Duplicolor brake paint at Autozone. $16.95 and it has really held up well.

I didn't look at the first link from tirerack until now. It is actually the exact same kit that I ordered from Eastwood. I remember a "G2" sticker was included with my kit.

I think VHT makes something for the brake calipers.

i used the duplicolor on the calipers on my challenger and it looks nice.

Good point. I want to have it as glossy. But I don't know what to do yet.

My calipers have the original paint on them. All I did was clean them real well and coated them with Rustoleum Crystal Clear paint. All I had was spray in the shop so I just sprayed it in the cap and used a brush to apply. It brought back the color and made them glossy. I've got lots of miles on it and they still look great.

That is excatly what I want to have my calipers look like that too. :rock:

I think when I get back from evansville this spring I am going to have JMB powdercoat my brake calipers when I get my brakes done with some unnoisy flippin brake pads.

If it is the exact same kit to tirerack and eastwood. Then I am going with the tirerack so i can save $1.
