quick question. Im putting new pads and rotors on my stang but wanted to paint the calipers. I've heard you do 3 coats, but how long in between coats and do you have to let it sit so it doesn't peel?

also, what do you guys think about blue calipers on a white 88lx?

depends on temp for how long in between coats. Keep in mind that those suckers are going to get really hot when they are on your car. Might consider putting them under a heat lamp after every coat to get them hot to sort of bake the paint if you will.

Duplicolor makes a Caliper paint that you brush one, looks good and only need 2 coats.

make sure you prep them right so they dont peel. i think blue would look cool on a white car. post some pictures !

get all grease off them so when they get hot they dont bubble up.

^^^ Agreed.

Rice mod if you ask me

If you are going to color the calipers, do it right and powdercoat.

Stock calipers are small and suck don't draw attention to them.

Can you powdercoat. I was going to but they bake that on in like 400 degree ovens. wont the rubber caliber piston sleeve melt?
