What's a good brand of caliper paint to use? I've seen different kinds that have the paint and brushes but I've never been sure. And will the paint stay and not chip off after about a year? I really don't want to get into painting them often.
BTW it's a victory red G5 GT, so I'm planning on red for the calipers. That is unless anyone has a better color to do...

 

i used High temp engine Paint from duplicolor... cuz they had more color options I wanted but theres "caliper paint" at Autozone ann ****, or G2 Caliper paint I heard is good 2

 

I've thought about doing my brembos, seems like a tough job though.

 

iv used G2 on my old car, held up bomb

i also think the brembos are powdercoated, so if u do that u are basically down grading in my perspetive

 

Thanks guys! I looked up the G2 paint, looks like its good stuff. I'll probably paint them whenever I go to change the brakes since it'll be easier to do it that way.

 

I sanded and cleaned and then sanded and cleaned and painted with Duplicolor Caliper paint and it flaked off one day at the car wash. So


Duplicolor

 

^lolol,i just ordered the duplicolor caliper paint kit off ebay, seems legit. ill be doing them next week with my boy while i do my brakes too, il let you know how it comes out . my boy has the g2 paint on his car in green and let me tell you its worth the money. it looks like the calipers were powdercoated,they came out really nice, i just didnt feel like spending 40 bucks on caliper paint lol

 

id say just get them powder coated... caliper paint looks cheap.. imo

 

How much would it cost to get them powder coated? And this is my only car, so I can't have it down very long.

 

ya i hear ya. ive been wanting to get my little teensy weensy SS/SC calipers powder coated but i got the same problem. i cant have the car be down for a full day really. and im not sure. it would be more expensive than caliper paint thats for sure, but i dont think it would be REDICULOUS! but i do feel like powder coating will look better and probably hold up for literally aslong as u have the car.

 

I was just looking around at local places online, one place quotes calipers "$50-$75". Yeah, no. I don't want to drop $200 on making my brakes look pretty when that money could be put into doing something performance wise with the car. I think a $40 can of paint will be good enough haha

 

ha it'd be worth it to me but i understand where your commin from. thats y i never did it. because id spend the money to powder coat them but it isnt worth being without the car to me. i dont care enough to do it

 

I too have thought about it, screw the calipers its all bout the Rotors!
