Painting Brake Calipers

[spags]

Seen some around lately, they add a great visual attraction.. Ive seen some brake paint around, so i think im going to go ahead and do it.

Anyone done it, and if so howd it turn out?

Thanks

just did mine recently. the only real valuable tip i can give you is to mask everything off. the masking process will take the longest.

before you do that though, get in there is a toothbrush and a strong bristle brush and some water to get all that brake dust off

i know it's tempting just to spray heaps of paint to cover the caliper, but trust me. it's heaps better to spray light coats and go over many times. the paint looks smoother and the finish is nicer.
