Painting the calipers

[peduhpan]

Today I finally had the chance to paint my front calipers. It took a good 4 hours. Tomorrow I will finish the two rear calipers since it was getting dark. Tell me what you guys think. Here's some pics:

it might just be me, but I don't see any pictures, just some add for a photo place.

They look good!

I just painted mine as well. I painted the clip too. Mine do not stand out too much because I painted them black and the car is black, but at least they are not steel rust looking, and for now they shine....

Looks great.

what paint did you use? Does it have to be a special high temp paint or some sort of ceramic enamal?

How long will the paint last?

I'd also like to know what you guys used - lower cost one part, or two part mix paint?

 

[Big Daddy]

I used the lower cost one part Brake Caliper spray paint sold at Pep Boys. It is a high heat paint. I will let you know how it holds up but remember I do not drive the roadster daily.

I'm interested in how much of a pain it's going to be to keep clean and looking good after the brake dust builds again. That looks really sharp with the red though.. I've been thinking about doing mine over a weekend and painting them white, I'm just worried about how hard it's going to be to keep them looking good on a daily/weekly basis..
Maybe black is the way to go just to get rid of the 'rust' look. (lol)

I have the painted gold/orange calipers with the 'brembo' logo on them. Fortunately, the brake dust gets spit out onto the wheels and barely any gets onto the calipers themselves...calipers always manage to stay clean and shiny, even when your wheels are not.

Looks very nice peduhpan! You will need to post pictures of the whole car now. From what I can tell it looks very nice and clean looking. Post some pics when you can....
