Aaron Harris Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hi All, I have been looking at painting my Brake Calipers and wanted to know what paint people would recommend. Reading reviews online there seems to be a lot of mixed reviews! Thanks Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 You can use proper high temp caliper paint if you want, but I and many others have used Hammerite with decent results and it's a lot cheaper. I've also used Poundland black paint on drums before! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Aaron For maximum performance and street credit I'd use plenty of masking tape, Spray on some primer then spray on the colour Also ensure to paint both sides evenly otherwise the vehicle will torque steer towards the side which has less performance.

[emoji1787] torque steer from paint don’t think so. I have enough torque steer as it it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turvey Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Remember to get plenty paint on the discs to help dissipate the heat 😉 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimST2 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 My ST has the Style Pack which includes red calipers. Do Ford sell that paint? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimST2 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I guess an email to either Ford or Mountune asking what paint they use might prove fruitful. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I used simoniz engine enamel paint (gloss black). You only need this and nothing else to paint the calipers. I painted the calipers and carriers and splash shields. Before painting calipers and splash shields After painting the calipers and carriers.
