Has anyone painted their calipers on an S2 ?

If so what colour did you go for ? What product did you use ? and has anyone got any photos of what they look like ?

 

Definitely want to do this in the next few months. I've got black/red but don't know whether to go for black or red calipers??

I saw some caliper colouring kit in Halfords which reminded me that i must get round to doing it. The kit was

 

I've got some Red Foliatec caliper paint ready to go on but think I'll hang back until after any track exploits - I've seen some nasty results from cooking the paintwork, especially on the rear...

Chippo's calipers are the biz, he blended a couple of shades of red Hammerite to get a lovely rich red colour - very tasty

 

I painted mine black. Foliatec black. It still looks better than stock, but this is not the matt, flat, perfect porsche black finish...

Any other colour will degrade overtime to a point you regret having do it.

 

Thee are mine taken last summer:



I used Hammerite. I've not noticed any fading and I've painted the calipers on my last 3 cars with the same stuff. I don't think I'd use it if you intend to track the car as Tif said, but otherwise, I've had no problems at all.

 

 

I painted mine black with hammerite smooth finish.
They look the biz, sorry no pics.

 

What is the major difference between Foliatec and Hammerite ? Has anyone used both ?

For those of you that have done it, did you take the calipers off ? Did you take all the wheels off or do one at a time ?

The Foliatec paint is an epoxy style product with a paint and seperate hardener. The kit I've got seems OK and includes the brake cleaner spray etc. but I think that it would be best to mix a little paint at a time and do each wheel individualy.
