I'm currently painting my brake calipers black. I've already done two, and I've applied the first coat to the third one, I'm just waiting til it dries. Here's a little sneak peek for those interested. Let me know what you think so far!

Looks good. What did you use? G2?

Thanks! I'm using Dupli-Color's Caliper Paint Kit. It's great stuff, but the brush that comes with the kit is a total POS. I've used Crayola kiddie brushes that work a lot better than this one.

Those look great!

I'm ready to try this out on mine. What did you use to clean the caliper?

i painted mine on my 07 and they looked good at first, but they looked like absolute **** after 2 months. I wound up scraping the paint off and that was a pain in the ***

Thanks!

Thanks! Go for it! I recommend it. A caliper cleaner, it comes along with the paint kit. I got the kit at O'Reilly Auto Parts. And I used a wire brush to scrape the dirt off. Get the wire brush if you decide to do this.

Stop scaring me! Lol. Did you clean it good? I was doing some research and I read that you have to clean it really good in order to make it last long.

yea i cleaned it well, but the paint just wound up wearing over time... if it doesnt work out though, i know AM makes caliper covers. anyway, i hope it works out though

Wow, thats sucks :/. I hope that doesn't happen to me cuz those covers are too expensive. Thanks.

I'm thinking of going this route, i wanna paint black did you have to disconnect the calipers? And protection?
