Caliper painting

[Mark_T]

Meticulous surface preparation is everything. You can obviously do a better job if you remove the calipers from the car. A few cans of brake cleaner, a wire brush, and lots of rags should do the trick. Plug the holes with rubber stoppers and tape off the seals.

I used VHT caliper paint and it seems to be holding up well.

I agree, the automotive store method is much easier. I regret powdercoating.

I did the same, brake cleaner, wire brush, some sand paper, clean, mask, VHT red, stickers from eBay, and then VHT clear.

I like the stencils better as you use paint instead of a sticker.

just make sure to use the correct size, as there are fanatics will point out that they are incorrect if too big or small. :ah:
