Is there any way to paint the caliper while it is still on the car? What type of paint should be used? Thanks

 

Some people have done it, but most of the postS recommend removing the calipers in order to do the best possible job of it.

I did not remove my calipers and the paint is holding up nicely after 1000 miles. Here are my kind of step by step pictures.

I am actually about to do this tomorrow. My friend did it today on his Prelude. He used some degreaser and Brake Caliper paint from Pepboys. Will I be ok to use the same stuff, or would anyone recomend anything else?

If you track the car, you should think twice about it. But it's your car...!

 

I don't plan on tracking it, maybe once to see what it's likle if at all. I have done my research and I plan to stay away from foiltec. I think I will try the Krylon paint and see how that holds up.

William...Calipers look great, are they as clean close up?

 

Thanks, and yes they do.

 

Been thinking about painting mine but the question is what color would you paint them on a yellow car. Anybody know where to get hi-temp matching yellow paint?

 

check with mg racing on this... i think that they still have this paint.
