Paint your Brake Calipers/Rotors

[ILtemprd]

Looks good Steve. I'm with him, black. Could you send me a set in black Kevin? Front and rears if they fit on the rears. Thanks.

I agree with you Kevin, send me two of them, I don't think they'll fit on the back calipers. If they will send me four of them. You should have my stuff, if not send me a PM. I think black don't you?

When you guys change to low dust brake pads, don't forget to rub a little paint on the rotors and those faded calipers. These pictures don't do it justice, but believe me, it made an amazing amount of difference.

Look great...can't wait to seem them in person... I might have to break out
the LPHV....

Do you remember the other thread where you said everyone picked on you. :dontknow:

There may be a reason for this.

Just out of curiousity, are we related.

What's your suggestion on color? I'm open for input...

All I did for prep was use a soft brush with water and Dawn, then use rags, tooth bruch etc to get the small areas. The kit comes with brake cleaner, which I used a little of, but the soapy water actually seemed to work best. I let it all dry and painted away, nothing to it other than a little time and a case (or two I lost count) of beer.

Is that all the beer it took. And here I looked up to you.

HeHeHe, it's been a cross I've born my whole life. An inch more I would have been a king, an inch less, I'd have been a queen... Hell we might be related, worse things have happened to me. If you met some of my documented kin, you'd understand...LOL!!!

Sorry, I should have included that I had already had a couple of cases earlier in the day while I was installing the lowering kit...my bad.

Did mine Black

When I did mine I sanded, then used the cleaner that came with the Caliper paint kit, was a brush on paint.. then added VIPER logos and sprayed 5 coats of clear. Its been well over a month ago and it still looks great..

I have used Duplicolor paints on other vehicles (Calipers and other under hood components) with very good results.
