D!str0 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I am thinking of painting my brake calipers red. Have anyone tried it? Will it last. I am talking about red heat resistant spray not plasti dip spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangoDaz Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 This looks okay 251749046265 like I have said on another post I have got a spare set of calipers that I intend to refurbish then paint yellow and you get the added bonus of being able to take your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismawa Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 You can also use Hammerite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZetecMan1 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Brush on Hammerite unless you like spending a lot of time masking up stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I think brushing is better as you can work it into the nooks and crannies better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think is better with paint than spray because when you do spray you must protect the pistons so spray paint doesn't go there. How do i ask for paint at the shop?should I clear any rust first?

wilto Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 eBay for the paint, also you'll need a can or two of brake cleaner, a wire brush and possibly a scotch pad all available from eBay. Some companies sell the whole kits complete. To see what's involved type in " painting brake calipers" on you tube and hundreds of videos will come up.
