Painting Brake Calipers

[xfactor0707]

Im trying to figure out what is the best method to paint my brake calipers. Do i take them off or do i leave them on? What is the best paint to use? And last but not least i need your guys and gals help deciding what color i should paint them. Im tired of the usual red calipers everyone rocks. Heres some crappy pics i took of my car with my phone. Let me know what color you guys think i should do. Pink? Gold? Orange? let me know any color you think i should rock. Thanks NICO

G2 Caliper paint is the best, mine still looks brand new and never chipped. Don't use a spray, the g2 kit comes with a brush, applies much better.

as far as painting them on or off the car, that's up to you. I painted mine while on the car, just had to tape off the rotors and other parts i didnt want paint to get on.

On the other hand having them off the car will make it a lot easier for you to paint and also for them to dry.

When the weather warms up, I'm painting mine gold.

yup all of this i used the brush kit too......do them in something crazy like orange or even blue, you can order them online if you want a specific color. And just do them with them on the car u just gotta wait like 2 hrs then put the wheels bk on n do the next two jackstands help alot doing this

Whats up bro, yea i always park in that open parking lot, i got macroeconomics at 8 in that law building dont know whats happening in that class . I always check out your car man its hot . Idk when im going to do this yet i wanna do a couple of other things first like paint the mustache(the overlays were a fail), get foglights, and install the kickplates when i get them . Yea i think gold would look sick with your wheels, let me know if your gonna do them anytime soon im down to help you out

Bro are you serious? I have Macroeconomics in the law building at 8 lolI could help you with the overlays bro its not too hard, I did it both on the tail lights and the mustashe before I installed my C-mod grill

Im reinstalling my tail light tint though yea lets see if we maybe do the calipers and the taillight tints in your/my car if you want on the same day

Brodate?

haha are you guys in the same class, but don't know it? thats awesome.

a brodate is no big deal, just remember what Brian Posehn always says, "It's not gay as long as you yell Slayer". When you ye'll slayer is cancels out all the gay, so then it's just a bro-job.

Brodate?

Lmao brodate for sure . Straight now ill have someone to talk to in the class . How bought I trade you my chrome mustache for yours which you dont need cause of the c-mod grille

I wanted to bump this thread because i want to paint my calipers. Sounds like tge g2 system is the way to go.. I just purchased 4 new centric drilled and slotted rotors and pads so im ready to go. My plan is to put the car on 4 jack stands and dissasemble the brakes as much as possible to prep for paint. I even bought new caliper boots so the bracket can be done nicely.

So what are some prepping tips?
Painting tips?
I also found on amazon stickers that can be out on the calipers, after i am done with the g2 in red, i thought put the nissan sticker in white and then spray it with vht clear... thoughts?


I am also going to get my 18" rims powder coated in a dark hyper grey like the 370.. should look sweet..
