HI Guys...I am relatively new to this forum but it is now my favorite website and I love reading and learning new ways to make my car more personalized based on what some of the other members have done.

Over the past couple months i have really started noticing my stock brake calipers corroding and starting to rust. The more i looked at my brakes the more it annoyed me so i decided to clean, sand, and paint my stock brake calipers Black....since they are not the most attractive brake calipers to begin with i didnt think red or any flashy color would look good. I figured since they are not nice breaks like stoptech or brembo i should go black so they dont stick out like a sore thumb.

i also bought some of the infiniti Brake Caliper Decals to add a nice touch after i cleaned and painted them

if anyone else has done this in a different color please add pics of how yours came out

Please let me know what you think...good or bad

either way they are def looking better than before all rusty and ugly

Looks great bud, I cant stand the rusted look after a couple years either. This is going to be my next mod after I do a little more research. What kind of paint did you use and where did you order both the paint and decals?

 

I used the Duplicolor Brake Caliper paint because it was all i could find in the stores at the time....but i have heard from many others when i was researching that the G2 Brake Caliper paint is by far the best

i think as long as you clean them well...which took a long time for me...the paint will stay on and not chip...however if you dont clean them well it may chip after a year or so

 

nice work there. Looks alot better then stock.

 

yeah I wasn't a fan with how my stockers looked after their first CNY winter. I went with G2 silver, its been a few months and so far so good. Clean OEM look.

 

are those OEM decals from the dealer?

 

far wheel shots please

 

Did a little googling...

Looks good if you ask me. I hate looking at my rusty brake calipers, I have to get around to painting them someday as well. Nice job!

I always paint mine black.
FWIW, I tried duplicolor this time and it didn't stick worth schit.
G2 is 100x better.
Bonds much better, higher gloss, and smoother.

...also if you want a little cleaner job, grind off the casting flashes.

 

This is why I love this site, I just received my G35, and the first thing I wanted to do is paint the calipers, and this is what I find. Gotta love quality information.

Perfect color choice, and great job bro.

 

Thanks Guys...Like InTgr8r says the G2 Brand is the best

for the far wheel shots ill see if i can get some pics this week...i took those pics with my iphone

and xenon mods is where i ordered the caliper decals they are only $8

 

I think part of my problem with duplicolor was that the calipers were too new.
They seem to have a heavier plating on them on the 2nd gen cars.

 

This picture with the wheel on is the only one i have here at my office today but i will def work on getting some pics from a distance so you guys can see what they look like from farther back
