Brake Cappliers

[nabed4t]

I'm curious, I've seen cappliers that are red, do you have to buy new ones to get that colour or can you just paint them yourself? the new rims I have show them more than the old and the silver looks a little dull. any suggestions on colour would be great too. Thanks.

you can get spray can to paint your calipers but make sure its a heat resistant paint or it will peel right off.

and i reckon red makes your car go faster!

The Best way to get your brake callipers really looking good, get them sand blasted first then paint them.

PBR does now do painted calipers, mostly sold in kits for brake upgrades for earlier models etc. it would be cheaper to paint em yourself. VHT do a range of different colours for calipers. make sure you clean and degrease before painting.

I am interested in this - what's the procedure to undo the brake calipers? Do you need to bleed the brake lines?
