WAs just wondering if anyone here has or have painted their stock brake calipers? if so .. pics?

 

Don't do it, esp with the 03-04 Gs with all the brake dust problem the brakes look like shet after a few months. you get brake dust that sticks to the calipers and you have like a mix of black and Red (whatever color you get) looks nasty o not to mention the back brakes get less brake dust so after a few months your front brakes start looking darker then the rear.

 

I painted mine Yellow for a few months and have since changed them to Black to match my car. When they were yellow, I did not have any problems it just depends on how often you wash your car, and how much you drive of course.

 

Here's mine

 

I'm going to paint a set of calipers and rotors tomorrow. Black of course. Stock calipers aren't anything you want to really showcase. Wash your brakes and car often and dust won't be a problem. Also, change to non-OEM pads and dusting will decrease, depending on your choice of pads.

 

I have a front 4-pot bbk but a rear oem caliper 13" kit so I painted my calipers to match. It was not hard and has been good over the last year with a couple chips. They need a new coat now.



Front

I used this product as well. I didn't have any dust issues on the brakes. This paint needs to dry for at least 24 hrs. I left it to dry, over the weekend, with the wheels off.

 

i did the same thing

That is what I did too.

 

Cars are so much sexier in the air with the wheels off.


Slikster- why do your G2s look bad after a few months then?

 

nice nice.. i think im gonna try it. =))

 

Im gonna paint mine, i just gotta figure out what color. I have an IP so i was thinking red... white might look kinda cool but thats one of those colors that will either look really good or really bad.

 

I got an IP also and I was thinking white. I haven't seen any IPs calipers in white. Red would probably look alright as well though.
