White Calipers

[Infantry1327]

I haven't really been on the forums much but figured I would let you know I painted the calipers on my coupe white. I haven't seen anyone else with white calipers

I was a bit lazy and didn't really have the proper tools to completely take off the calipers so I just taped everything else and kept them in place. I put on about 5 coats of high heat white paint, and 5 coats of high heat clear coat. So far so good, came out real smooth and haven't really been gathering to much brake dust. But it has only been about 5 days. I also changed my front brake pads. So hear are some pics. let me know what you think and i will try and get some better pics soon.

Nice job, I was originally going to do mine white but just ended up going with red. Next time use a garbage bag to cover around the caliper, itll save you a lot of time.

just a quick question bro. I notice you painted it with the calipers installed. Did you take the brake pads when you painted it or you painted everything including the brake pad?

[Infantry1327]

I took the pads off, I also took the rubber gromets and the little brackets that hold the pads on. It was quick and easy. I had to change my front brakes and figured I would paint the calipers while I had everything a part. The next day I painted my buddys calipers red, he has a 350z. If they get to dirty I will just re do them. It takes about a day to do. Mostly because of drying time. If I do it again I am going to order some white caliper instead of just high heat paint. The caliper paint is thicker and repels brake dust better.

hey bro i know this is a pretty old post but im planning on doing my calipers white also. i just wanted to ask how is the brake dust? how often do you have to clean them??

[Infantry1327]

It's not to bad, if you clean them regular. and by that I mean get a nylon tire scrub brush, and give them a quick scrub when you wash your car. And i don't recommend using the clear coat. The clear coat actually gives them this dirty yellow tint, I do recommend instead of taking everything off and tapeing everything up. Just wrap the rotor with a trash bag, let the caliper hang from the brake line, give it a decent sanding, and spray.
