brake caliper paint?

[daveauth21]

does anyone know where i can buy some brake caliper paint? and would white work?

[maximaah]

Uh, Autozone or Pep Boys or even TireRack.com, or....

www.google.com and search on string 'brake caliper paint'.

Repeat after me: "Google is my friend. Google is my friend..."

White will look nice for the 10 minutes after you paint it, then it will look like crap and you will have to remove your wheels every time you wash your car just to wash your calipers, unless you have really open rims and even then the spokes will have to be in just the right place to clean them up so they look reasonable again. Unless your going for show quality then you should probably be getting upgraded calipers anyway.

Although I would think white would get dirty very quickly.

u can buy the kits like that, or jus check at autozone or somethin liket hat and it comes in a spray can, its paint jus for the calipers, its only a few bucks for the can. lot cheaper than having to pay 35-40 bucks for that kit, but do watever makes ya happy

What about the heat when it gets hot down there?

Pep boys carries a caliper spray paint made by Plastikote that is heat resistant up to 900 degrees. It should hold up to the heat just fine. Some engine enamels are only resistant to 500 degrees and they worked fine on my calipers.

Do you actually have a license to drive your car?

ya, i would recomend that u take the calipers off and paint them too. when i did mine i left them on and got a lil messy, plus i didnt think to open the garage door, so i was buzzin a lil bit. the engine enamel i tried only lastted a few months before it started to peel, most of it is still on there, but there are also lot of spots gone. witht he enamel it says on the can that ur suposed to bake it too, so that could be y mine came out bad??

Man what? I obviously had a question that I needed answered. Don't question me about my license because thats not what the thread was about. You must have a license for being a Dick. I'm not one to argue online because that $hit is just ignorant so If you don't have any positive feedback then keep out. I didn't start this thread for no Bull$hit smart A$$ answer. Thanks Ravq for the information that I needed. I'll now go buy some caliper spray from AutoZone, then I'll go down to the nearest DMV so I can go get my license and then we can all "try" and clown senior members if they have questions
