Hello All -
I will be undertaking the project of painting my calipers this weekend. I did have just a few questions to ask based on using the search option last night and doing some research. I know quite a few of you have some experience with this. I purchased the yellow duplicolor kit (brush), the e-bay black decals, and some high temp clear coat spray as well.
1) Do the calipers absolutely
need to be removed in order to get a quality job or does the "garbage bag" method really work well (wrapping one around the rotors)? This would probably be my preferred method if it is reccomended.
2) If they do need to be removed for a quality job, is it essential to bleed, drain and change the brake fluid?
3) Is clear-coat necessary, helpful, or unnecessary? I read that some didn't use it at all, some used a little, and some used a lot and experienced "cracking". I would love to know what has worked for you. I was under the impression that the clear coat helped the decals stay on longer and helped with the shine.
Thank you in advance for any input at all. I will post up pictures when the job is done.
