Hey guys those who have you painted their calipers, can I just use spray paint and then clearcoat it? Would I get any reaction or anything?

 

you need to thoroughly clean the caliper first with brake cleaner to take away any grease or residue. afterward, then yes, you can paint and clear. the cleaning step is the most important. i did mine and then used high temp enamel to paint / clear, after 6 yrs they were still like new

 

bro get them powder coated professionally you wont regret it!

Btw, what color you going for? You gonna put the Brembo or Lexus decals on?

 

I am getting Red bro and putting brembo decals..gotta rep brembo lol.

 

Thanks bro. Just wanted to ask since they already come painted...

 

If you decide to paint them instead of powder coating, use G2. Their kit comes with brake cleaner, promoter, brush and paint. It can usually be found at AutoZone / Advanced Auto....or http://g2usa.com/

 

I read somewhere on the forums it's a bad idea to powdercoat the brembo calipers...the seals get messed up due to high temps used for powdercoating.

 

I also remember reading this. The post / thread specifically sighted brembo strictly advising against powder coating. I think lobuxracer found the information.

 

I am pretty sure Cathafer has hers powder coated USB and I dont think she has any problems.

 

So I finished painting my caliper just wanted to share. Always loved the looks of the classis brembos. Took the pic with my cellphone so its ok quality, It's a tad bit darker red in person. I am really happy with how it turned out. I think it makes the car stick out more.

 

Finished product.

good job!

 

Wow! Turned out great! Did you have to disassemble the caliper to paint? Is the decal specific for calipers? Again, looks terrific!

 

When you get a chance please get some pics with the wheels on!! They look great so far!

 

Wow they came out great bro!!! Glad i was able to help you out!
