painting brake calipers?
maybe a noob question.. i dunno..
i was just wondering if it was possible to paint the brake calipers with some high temperature tolerant paint? itd be nice to paint the 05 calipers orange/gold to make it look...oh i dunno... brembo-esque? hehe cheap i know.. but u gotta give us 05 owners some slack due to the discontinuation of brembo equipped g's

I know TCFOOL used the G-2 Brake Caliper PaintSystem Set, and his calipers look amazing (along with the rest of his ride). You can find some pics of his beautiful work here and here.

i was thinking about painting the calipers on my 05 too. however, after seeing pics that another member posted, i'm not sure if it's worth the effort because it looks only okay. this is due to the fact that the stock calipers don't have an absolute smooth surface--it's sort of textured. so, even after it's painted, you can still see that textured surface. but, if you do paint the calipers, make sure to post some pics. if it looks good, i would be down with it too.

I picked up a kit called Brembs from a local Tuner store, I think the paint comes from Germany. It looks amazing. I have some buddies who used the spray on and you can always see the texture through the paint, but this stuff has a hardener in it and goes on a little thicker (with a paint brush) and it has been a year now and it still looks like the day that i painted them. I did three coats on all my brakes and had enough left over to do my escalade, the only downside is that the paint is about $50. It looks really smooth, like the finish on the brembos.
