Gearhead43 Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 How I did mine: Brought 4 new calipers, painted them with Engine Enamel even before they went on the car. Used Silver wheel paint for the front caliper brackets. ( I now have a set in silver powercoated brackets fixing to go on the car. ) Rotors are Powerstop crossdrilled. Wheels are Enkei RS6's Tip: I let my freshly painted calipers dry for 3 days so the paint harden properly. The paint will dry in a few hours to the touch, BUT it's still "soft" . It will maror "IMPRINT" if you handle it too much.. It's best to wait a few days for the paint to "cure" fully. Quote
J Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 on my cars i use the caliper painteing KIT, it has caliper cleaner (brake clean) a brush, masking tape and the paint. Just tape all the bleeders and boots and brush it on, get one done and go on to the next then repeat a few times. It was really easy and it turned out so good it looks like powder coat. Jay Quote
