Painted Calipers add a nice touch IMHO
, below is how I did mine.
1. Remove the tire.
2. Clean the caliper, with some type of degreaser to make sure there isn't any brake fluid on the caliper or you can use oven cleaner as suggested by Rollin on Dueces.
3. Let caliper completely dry.
4. Mask off the rotor with tape and I used a drop cloth for the outer wheel well area to avoid overspray onto the quarter panels.
5. Spray the caliper lightly with a few coats, let dry put the tire back on. (I had paint put into an aerosol spray can from my local paint store), there is also others that sell caliper paint kits.
6. Follow steps 1 thru 5, for the next 3 tires.
The hardest thing is jacking up the car to remove each tire
, with that said it's actually a simply mod that will look nice once your Done!! Good Luck and hope this helps for any who's thinking about painting their caliper.
Below is a pic of my finish project! My calipers have been painted now for about 6 months and are holding up very well no chipping or problems whatsoever, still looking they did after I painted them which is great since I painted them CV to match car!
(or any gloss) would look delicious, of course what really matters is what the owner thinks not anyone else when it comes to subjective cosmetic things as this, now if we were talking about putting 20w50 in our Hemi then there would be a right and wrong to discuss.
