What color to paint calipers?

[shelbie67]

It will look good on any color. I think its standard brake color on GTR and some of the Mercedes. But l as I mentioned in my DIY thread, VHT high temp paint isnt really chemical resistance like they advertise. Brake fluid ate right thru the clear coat. And even brake cleaner made it dull when I tried to wipe them down. Good thing it was the back side so no one can see. They are only heat resistance so they won't flake. Only proper way to do this is to powder coat.

Ya it is, but I don't have another car so VHT is my only option! But I've had success with it in the past. Did ok bleeding them without spilling last time so hope I can do that again when I decide on a color. So for burnt copper is it

I did VHT from autozone on my calipers. Took all of like five minutes for the brake fluid to eat through it lol.

I then got them powdercoated and love it.

G2 is the correct DIY paint on, more expensive but worth it

I used acrylic enamel paint and just brake fluid in the same room ate through all my beautiful work. Looks phenmomenal.... until you bleed the brakes. LOL!!

Works good for me, although I still think powder coating is best but since I was only matching my rear calipers black to front brembos it worked well

My burnt copper. I like it more I look at them.


But If I could do it again, I'd do something like this. But it'd be hard to find this color.

the link I posted has a huge selection of colors. im thinking im doing mine in psycho green

Why not try and match Kona Blue with powdercoat?

I had mine powdercoated Grabber Blue.

On Kona Blue, I think gold or copper would look HAWT!!!

That blue on blue looks good. I'm Grabber Orange, but I can't imagine GO calipers looking right.

Damn, I really like those burnt copper ones. I have a Deep Impact Blue myself.

I wonder how long a hydro dipped caliper with a several good coats of clear would last?
