So I finally painted my calipers. It took around 6 hours to do all 4 wheels (didn't get them as clean as i'd hoped) I think they turned out well.. you'll see in one picture that I got some spray paint on the top of my rotor, good thing i'm not a perfectionist! Over all I think they came out pretty well! I'll post better lighted pictures tommorow!

 

idk why people do things the wrong way... Your gonna have fun peeling off that paint here in a couple months...

Why didnt you just buy the caliper red paint and just brush it on? They actually do make caliper paint

 

Maybe saying "why do people do things the wrong way" is better.

Came out good anyways. And using caliper paint peels off too in a couple months. Your have to use clearcoat over it. Then it'll last a bit longer

It looks like you got some paint on the pads.

 

... They do make caliper spray paint. Iv used both and both peel in a matter of months.

 

i've never been a fan of people painting their little calipers.

 

personally i woulda taken the calipers off it makes life easier but not everyone wants to bleed their brakes. anyways caliper paint or spray paint, brush on or rattle can, its coming off in months even with proper prep work

 

lol mhmm I live in a town where we get all types of weather and my paint didnt start to ever peel for over a year and a half and thats caliper paint

 

umm to avoid peelin.hahah powdercoat. like i did

 

why did you leave the calipers on the car???

 

^^^ answer is a 4 letter word. hahahaha

 

haha aww man

 

They look good!

 

I think the brush on paints work better. This looks good though, I'd love to know how long it lasts.

 

lazy? i'm not lazy.. just didn't think it was necessary! I was pleased with the way they turned out.. like i said in the OP i'm not a perfectionist so pleasing me isn't hard. Thanks for the kudos everyone! I realize I didn't do the best job but I think they turned out well..I didn't realize the paint will only last a few months.. makes me wonder why I spent hours doing it

thanks! I was thinking about using the brush paint.. definately a wise decision if you don't want paint to get everywhere.

I did use caliper paint by the way. it was spray paint bought from a local auto store, said "high temperature resistant caliper paint" right on the can.

 

heres some more pictures with better lighting.. also took some interior view pictures

 

I've used VHT caliper paint with good results. Lasted for over 3 years being parked outdoors for two of those years without peeling [sold the car].
