hey guys..

just did my stoptech front install and had OEM size slotted rotors put in the back.. i wanted to paint the rear calipers red to match the fronts.. what is the best caliper paint to use and where can i get em?

thanks in advance!

 

The G2 kit is the way to go. You can get it different places but the tire rack where I got mine.

I painted them on my CL. The kit is easy to use and looks great. The only catch is you'd better paint them quick because the paint will harden in a hurry.

 

Kinda spendy isn't it? I just bought some engine paint at the local auto parts store for a few bucks. I did this with my other car too, and it's been over 6 years since I painted the calipers. All I did for upkeep was to spray the calipers with the garden hose when I wash the car, and the calipers are still purty

FWIW, I know people that used oven paint, because those come in all sorts of cool colors. And those can be rated up to 900 degrees as well.

 

Ya it's kind of expensive. I tried the engine paint and after a couple of months it start to look like sh*t. The G2 kits with the glossy finish is worth it IMO.

 

Got G2 first but color don't match my car,

Painted mine with Engine Paine, more color to choose:

I used brake caliper paint by Plasti-cote from the local parts store. It was inexpensive and has provided a nice finish. For cleaning, I just wipe them down with car soap when washing the car and use a soft towel for drying. Preparation is the key to a good finish. I used a Dremel, files and sandpaper to clean up the casting flashing and smooth out the bumpy surface.
