i am pulling the caliper off and painting it, prolly sand blasting them and painting them that way..... but if u dont have time to pull them off, u can paint them on the car.... just unbolt the caliper from the spindle and sand them down good and then paint them......

 

i KNEW graphite would say pink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

LOL... . before i loaded the topic i thought PINK... LMAO,.... I would have to say blue, to accent the pinstripes


i'm going Metallic blue for my new set up this summer

 

deffinitely blue... i want to paint mine red.. how much trouble is it to take the calliper off and do a good job?

 

i would say blue to accent the pin stripe. it will make both stand out really well. as for the PINK color, save that for the interior neon lights. he he he.

 

i perfer black since the calipers get covered in brake dust and look really dirty with color.

 

^that is a good point, i never thought about.......

 

I would go with either a gloss black or the electric blue...no on the silver though.


You know that's pointless right...?


Sand them down, put on a base coat of primer if you want, but not necessary (i didn't, and mine still look "ok" after two years). You can use either high temp engine enamel (my choice), or the Duplicolor "Caliper Paint" (which is basically high temp engine enamel anyways [8D]). Make sure you use several light coats and you can finish off with a high temp top coat to help protect the paint and keep it shiny-ish.

Also, you can either take the calipers completely off the car, or just unbolt them from the knuckle (then wrap an old towel around the rotor/knuckle to prevent overspray) to protect the rotor and give better flexibility for painting, or just leave them on totally and just make sure you tape off the rotor and dont overspray. I went with option two because it was the easiest and most practical...

 

I say electric blue and I have mine red but repainting either a silver or black with red lettering.

 

kinda off topic, butmyneons engine HAS BEEN STOLEN!!!!!!!!!!
