Painted Calipers Today

Painted my calipers, installed new decals, and clear coated them with high temperature coating. I am very happy with the results, I should have done this a long time ago.

... and Suncoast Porsche- you need the smaller of the two. The large ones are for GT2-3, Cayenne etc.

Nice work, looks great! How do you guys keep your wheels looking so good? Time to pull mine and clean the brake dust off of the barrels, still waiting for the City to get the gravel off the roads here....sigh....

Great job. That final clear coat is the way to go. I did another forum members a couple years ago, they came out great. I need to check with him and see how them are holding up.

Oh ya and VHT is the only paint to use. Dries fast.

Did you remove the caliper to paint them? Or can you do it while they are still on the car?
