Anyone know were i can get my calipers painted in the socal area??

 

Why not do it yourself?

 

and how abouts would i go on doing it myself?

 

It's easy. I've done it about 3 times myself....Gold, Blue..now gloss black.

Clean, wipe down, mask off, then paint. Drys in like 15 to 20 minutes.

If you want them to look really nice get them powdercoated.

 

^I agree...the finish is way better then you will be able to get by doing it yourself.

 

its pretty easy to do it yourself kragen has a kit for about $20 bucks

 

I got my paint at autozone for like $8

 

If you like blue, you can buy mine &
sell yours. Save you time & money.

My is painted blue & has infiniti longo on.

$150 for brake rotor, pad, calipers, lines the whole front.

 

Are you stripping away the old paint before you apply the new paint?

 

When I went from Gold to Blue I did. I didn't when I went from Blue to Black. I just cleaned them up before I went black. The finish on them was already very smooth.

The trick to using those kits is to first put a light coat on, let it dry, then put it on thick. You don't have to worry about smears or brush marks. The paint seems to have alot of alcohol it (or something) and dry's very smooth.

I have extra blue and black if you want it. There is more than enough to do all your calipers.

Let me know

 

get the G2 caliper paint. take off your rims. use masking tape and newspaper to mask everything but the caliper. a tip i've heard is to mix 1/4 of the paint at a time so it doesn't dry out on you when you're doing it your first time being extra careful.

 

The paint should be $8-10. I did my oem RB rear kit to mach my front calipers and the red spacer they came with.

I do agree that having them power coated would look a lot better but it's more $ and time.

 

So paint from kragen or another autoparts store would work fine??

 

get hi temp engine paint.
