RE: Brake Caliper Painting
I done mine last year.
Wire brush and degreaser to clean them down.
Dried and I used heat resistant spray paint (Matte Black)
Few sprays and it covers the calipers brilliantly.
Don't worry about the little overspray on the discs, it comes off when driving and braking. Ill try dog out a few pictures for ye
RE: Brake Caliper Painting
Which matte black paint did you use by the way? Did it hold?
There's loads of them in halford/b&q/etc.
RE: Brake Caliper Painting
Any heat resistant one will work. Yeah held up on the whole 600miles I've drove since...
RE: Brake Caliper Painting
I did mine recently but I took them them off because I had to do replace a brake line that was worn and a caliper had siezed. Made it a lot easier IMO.
What I did though was clean them off with a wire wheel brush first to help the paint mate better.
