I've painted a few calipers in my day but the days of masking off the caliper to me is over.. I've seen caliper kits at the local advance auto parts but now i can't seem to find them.. Is it possible that Pep boys carry these kits? Any help would be great.. I still have my rear calipers to paint.. I'm way over due.. LOL

Thanks
Tony

tony dont waste yout time or money just get some high temp engine paint i have used that for years and noo problems

Additionally, since the caliper paint is epoxy based, all four wheels need to be removed and the vehicle placed on four jack stands prior to mixing the paint.

The calipers cleaned and prepared, masked if needed, and ready to paint one after another before the paint cures in the mix container.

high temp engine paint in a spray can doenst do that so you dont need to hurry and if you get it on the rotor it will come off while driving

I actually prefer to mask off and use the high temp engine spray over those brush on paint kits. I'll usually do 3 coats of color followed by 3 coats of clear.

What is the best way to clean calipers prior to painting?

DupliColor makes a caliper paint kit also that is readily available in any AutoZone or Pep Boys auto parts store. It is not epoxy based either so you can do as much or as little as you want and save the rest for later. I picked up 2 kits for $15 each at Pep Boys last month.

Each kit includes brake cleaner, masking tape, a brush, a pint of paint and instructions. Each kit is enough for 1 complete car.
