Who has Painted their Brake Calipers? - DC5

[[Type_R]]

Hey

Just wondering if anyone here has sprayed their DC5 calipers?

Been thinking about painting mine like a brembo red colour, would look good I think.. But would like to see it before i paint them.

So if you have done this, please - show me what you prepared earlier :p

imo opinion painted stock calipers look cheap and nasty =/

if you really have to ... paint them black ... but make sure u use a good quality paint and you take it off the car and do it properly

worse thing ever is when ppl paint their calipers a bad colour like baby blue or pink ... even worse again is the aformentioned colored drum brakes haha

ay mate i know its not a dc5 but i sprayed my ek ones flat black. looks 100% better than the rust colour.

silver looks ok ... but you have to remember they are gona get covered in brake dust ...

ive painted mine Silver using Holts Duplicolour Caliper paint kit... your brush it on and it has a ceramic component which ensures it is durable. It also come it a kit with everything you need... i had to go to the distributor to get it, and it was pricey, but its ,much neater than spray...

dont paint it....use Good Pads...so the pads will look way outstanding to cover up the rust :P

on my previous teg i painted em flat black looked neat!! i also finished it usin high temp 'clear' silicone spray paint, a couple of coats then cured it as the instructions said and the results lasted the whole 2years i ownd d car, the paint neva faded used degreaser to clean em at every car wash n still looked as if it was freshly painted! A must IMO

Previous owner of my dc5 painted the stock calipers red, i don't mind it. I probably wouldnt have done it myself, but i wont bother changing it.

I can get you a picture tonight if you like

Yeah front looks awesome, because they are brembos!

Nice job btw.

I saw a Black DC5S with red calipers today, and it has thrown me off the idea! Standard calipers painted red look so tacky.

Brembos FTW :D
