Painting Calipers

[javapda]

Has anyone have any experience painting their brake calipers?

If so, what type of paint? What precautions taken? Favorite color for calipers?

I've never done it. But it looks pretty cool though. I wouldn't mind seeing how a gold or red one would look on mine. However... my car doesn't have n e thing fancy like rims or body kits. My car is just plain old stock stuff :P

But to answer ur questions... here is a link. Hope this helps.

The guy painted it gold. Showed some steps... n even put a Lexus logo sticker on it. So take a look... n pick a nice warm day to do it. HEHE

Thanks Tom,

That's exactly what I need.

Color: I am considering a red myself, but not sure the exact color red to use. I like the look of the red calipers on some of the vettes around town.

But the gold looks good, if I had a gold package I'd be more gold-inclined.

Thanks again,

javapda :D

No problem... glad i could help... even though the credit goes to the author of the tutorial. Red sounds good. Probably would work well. Nice racing type colors. Take some pics when u have it done... i would love to see it on ur car... as i have the same car... however... i have the Gen II Rims... so if i were to ever do the project... it would look better than on the 1st gen rims.
