Painting Calipers

[COINERS]

Ok so I have taken my car of the road for a bit. So I can save some $$$ to get some stuff fixed on it. I was thinking about painting my calipers.
Just curious if any one know the best way to do this or any tips or photos of your painted calipers

Any contributions would be appreciated.

Ill post my photos when im done

Thanks guys

You might try powder coating.

or polishing 'em.i reckon I'll use gold hot paint 4 the bracket instead of boring black tho'..

believe me...they look stupid painted...although powder coated like coolngroovy has suggested would look good

Just getsome one who knows what they are doing to powder coat them. A mate of mine had it done professionly (if thats what you call it) pulled up in my dirt driveway and his back drive wheel seazed.

Hey, wouldn't powder coat melt? brakes get really really hot, mine gets hot enough to burn your skin in an instant just pulling up for my driveway off a 100 zone

you have to get it done in heat proof stuff i think heres my calipers painted them last week i just covered everything up with news paper and masking tape took a while but turned out good i did it gold to match the gold studs on my wheels

but i would have to agree that powder coating would look heaps better looks nice and smooth it's just harder and more $$$

thats awsome. looks real good bradvt98. i was just going to go for red. but i might go for 2 colours now
thanks for the pic

yeah it looks good doing the 2 parts of the caliper different colours it would be to much of 1 colour i reckon if you did it all the same. just remember you have to buy proper brake caliper paint i used vht (good brand)
