[DIY] Painting brake caliper

[Bludger]

this is the dodgy way of doing it.


lazy

thank you

I'm glad you take it ok, cos its constructive criticism.

The proper way to do it is to take apart the brake system and paint the bits individually.

not that hard imo.

i'm thinking chrome brake pads.. supercheap had some high temp chrome paint but was like $50 a can.. its either chrome or gold.. but i think chrome will look much better on a silver car, (my calipers are brown stock not silver)

this is a good DIY, but i did proper. my friend took apart the calipers and then spray them.










looks good for something that cost me 20 bucks! LOL!

nice post... just wonder how many bottles of spray did you use for the 4 calipers? 2 is enough?

I painted all four calipers with one can of septone. I did pretty thick coats too, so I'd say one can would be enough. Still got a bit left over as well.

need to be careful using the jack like that to jack up 1 side of your car.

I could be wrong but it looks like the car is jacked up on all fours.

Anyway, it looks great.
