Anyone know how hard this would be to do yourself? I've never taken calipers off before but I really really like how painted calipers look. How much do you think it would cost me to have done at a shop?

Duplicolor makes kits that you can use yourself. I think they are about $20-30 a kit and you don't have to remove the caliper.

If I were personally going to do it, I would remove the calipers, prep them and use high temp paint and clear coat on them. Just remember that you will most likely need to repaint them after so many miles because of the wear and tear that they go through.

i had the duplicolor paint on mine for about 35k and it held up great.

I used the Duplicolor kit. Comes with brake cleaner, paint and brush.
I have a steady hand and painted mine, one at a time, on the car with no trouble.

That's awesome I'm gonna have to look into that, thanks guys.

ive been thinkin about painting mine for a while
what color what look the best?

Doommaker

Well I want red on a black Mustang. On a yellow one though hmm not sure. Maybe just yellow?

britt21

do you think yellow on yellow would look good?

Doommaker

I think it would. Red would stand out too much I think.
