caliper paint

[3rd1sthecharm]

where can I get caliper paint to match my factory teal green. I also want to put a candy sparkle coat over the factory green. who usually does these type of paint jobs and how much do they usually cost. I'm in Hampton Roads VA if anybody close by knows.

Whats the point? IMO it would look wierd but im pretty sure you can find some sort of high temp paint that resembles close to the color. Try searching around the internet or ask around local paint shops?

yeah..you'd prolly have to get a custom mixed high-temp paint

do calipers really need high temp? I had an eclipse that i painted calipers blue with regular paint and it lasted the whole 2 years i owened it and i bet that they r still fine. just tryin to save u some money.

i got high temp caliper paint in bright red for $6 a can. put like 6 coats on there and it didnt take hardly anything out of the can. it was really thin paint, but it covered ok after a few coats.

i'm not sure if the calipers heat up also along with the pads from the frction caused by breaking. i would think that it's just the pads though.

the caliper does not get as hot as the pads but its still hot.
Here is my suggestion this is what i used on my caliper and works amazing
-Rustoleum paint [you can go to home depot and get the paint mixed to get a color like your car too]
-Use a Paint brush and paint it on
-remeber to tape off everything you dont want painted. [use acetone or mineral spirit to get it off of stuff if you get it on anything]
* Also paint the brake caliper mounting bracket too. it makes it looks so much cleaner if you did.
I painted my caliper about 1 year ago and they still look amazing.

werd..i didnt, and im gonna have to go back and do it again. it looks goofy cuz its so small from a distance, and up close it doesnt fit the unpainted.
