Okay, finally got tired of seeing all of them pretty painted calipers and decided to do it myself. Has anybody tried this brand?



If so is this an alright brand? Does it hold up to heat well? Any flaking problems? Also I am not the best artist, I'm more of the mechanically inclined sort not the artsy type, so does this paint lay well? Thanks for any input and also any pics of calipers with the same kit would be appreciated also, thanks guys!

 

I recommended engine enamel. Alot cheaper.. has held up good for me!!

 

Those picture's have alot of grease on them from installing lowering springs btw....

 

Looks good but I've already bought the kit. Now I just have to wait until a non rainy day

 

I did mine yesterday with the same brand of black.. I ain't the best sprayer either but they came out okay.. Just make sure there completely dry before you start

 

Huh, the only spray I have in my kit is the cleaner, the paint came in a can with a brush

 

I bought the grease cleaner and a can of black.. Mine didn't have a brush in it

 

I used same kit on mine.. Just do 3 to 4 coats.. No problems ....

 

In the middle of it right now, waiting for the first coat to set

 

finished around three this morning

 

I've got the same kit. Looks great on mine, I do need to touch up one or two spots however after 1.5 years.

 

I think it pops too much so I'm gonna paint the 'cobra' black today

 

I use VHT high temp enamel on mine.

 

Did anyone sand the finish for a smoother appearance or just clean and paint?

 

Just cleaned and painted

 

Im looking at break cleaner. What's the difference in non chlorinated?

 

Anybody? I plan on painting mine tonight

 

Don't really know of the differences, I used CRC brakleen and it worked perfectly



Also remember to not drive the car for 24 hours so that the paint cures correctly or else you just waste your time and money

 

My pops is gonna let me borrow one of his trucks so we can get it done good with a couple coats lol

 

Yeah, it took me like 4-5 coats to get that nice liquid red look I was wanting. It took me like 5-6 hours so don't start late like I did, I started at like 8pm and didn't finish till like 2-3am lol
