as the heading suggests..
whipped out a can of special caliper paint and slapped it on over the weekend... (well i had the car in the air to do the front and rear engine mounts so... may as well)
i think it looks good.. now all i need is bigger rotors and brakes lol

How much effort was involved in that, cos I want to paint mine red, or black...it will be a spur of the moment decission.

well i did it properly (took everything off)
and it took a few hours (left overnight 2 dry of course)
if you did a mask and paint job prolly take you less... and you could drive within 2 hours

I like it, looks good on most cars


good job

Red if you want them noticed:)

Ditto.
And if you dont have twin piston brakes, i suggest getting some first (If its a V6 you can use the same rotor) Calipers are about $50 each from the wreckers.
You might need new brake lines made up ($33 Each from ABS)
And of course Pads ($40 standards)
I gave mine literally about 8 coats of the stuff, so im sure it should stick good.
Just have to do the puny Rear brakes now.

I did mine 3rd gen without needing to take the caliper off. You need time, approximately a whole day, good sunny weather, dedicated caliper paint, and masking tape and newspaper.

Not a difficult thing to do if you have NOTHING to do with your free time.

Comes Yellow, Red, Blue mostly.

Cheers!

Oh and my opinion is I think the blue is prtty nice, but Red will make it stand.

how much for the paint? and where from?

supercheap?,

VHT caliper and drum paint.. around $14 i think from memory from autobarn.. supercheap has another brand.. didnt find it to be as good..

id also recommend getting the clear one and giving it a few coats of that.. makes them even shinier..

love them man good work, did that on my hr wagon, do the hubs aswell and it will look mad as!!!

by the way does anyone know that harlequin walkinshaw mock up? he has his calipers and the hubs painted in harlequin, now thats some expensive paint!

looks good adz. convince rob to do his the same color (and/or do it for the lazy sob :P)

Ta dee :)

yeh i still got some paint left... i used the one from super cheap (for the person that asked) and i have not had any problems with it ( make sure you clean the caliper and you won't have a problem) and haven't needed clear.. its damn shiny without it
