Painting My Brake Calipers

[Lizardmen3477]

Any have any suggestions as to what a high quality brake caliper spray paint is that will last and look good for a while and where i can get it. I am finally getting around to painting my calipers to match my car since they are more visable with my new rims. Thanks for helping in advance.

Just did mine a month ago. DO NOT USE VHT brand brake caliper paint. It is absolute garbage. The best stuff I have found is this stuff:

I think it runs around $8.00 a can, but it is well worth every penny. It is actually the best spraypaint I have ever used. It goes on so smooth and clean, that you will swear it is a gift from the heavens. I used it to coat my rifle barrel and my differential drop brackets for the VX. I wish I had used it on my brake calipers. I promise you will love this stuff. You will probably need a can or two, and expect it to be a PITA to get the factory coatings off of the calipers. I had to sandblast for quite awhile to clean them completely. Good luck.

I'll second the motion on Plasti-Kote products. I liked the finish of their caliper paint so well that I've also painted my lower links & tie rod ends with it.
I'll also be using it to make the red stripe around my spray on bra permanent.

Good Stuff!

Ditto.. Plastijazz wins my vote!

Poke around the forums. I remember someone had them color match the Proton yellow paint.

I bought some at napa, very bad results...I could not get it to stick, not even after 5 coats.

Oh I should clarify that it was just the rattlecans that I used NOT G2.
