Opinions on caliper and drum painting...
Wednesday, April 20, 2005 5:28 PM
Ok guys I was considering painting my calipers and drums , I bought a epoxy caliper paint kit from Checkers and was wanting to do it, now I tried it once before with caliper spray paint but it got hot and peeled off so I figured the epoxy stuff would last longer and turn out better...ok so the problem is its only available in red or yellow now what color would look the best , just lookin for opinions....

Thanks, Dave

Go with the red! Yellow and black don't mix well anyways.

My friend painted his calipers blue a year ago and they are still holding up, so there are more color options for you. I will ask him what he used next time I see him

Dave ... like some people have said .. get some high heat 500+ degrees spray paint. I would recomend powder coating them. But since this is your main source of transportation I would spray paint them untill you can have them powder coated. Id say go with red (superman) then yellow (bee). What happend to your purple ... I actually liked purple on your car, I thought it looked sweet.

Yup, Wallmart, 500+ or 900+ degree caliper paint. Definately red. I sanded the calipers a little and then cleaned them with brake cleaner, then painted them red. Let that dry and then sprayed clear coat over them. Had this done for about a year and they still look like the day I did them. Even through winter. I wouldn't do the drums though!

Thanks Dave. Your car is looking better and better too. I was hesitant to get the kit, but I'm glad that I did. It looks even better in person as any body kit does.
