brake caliper paint

i used a dedicated brake paint kit for my car's brakes few years ago and would like to re fresh it now. i thought i got the kit from griots garage but they say they never carried it. anyone know of source for this type thing? thanks

 

Dupli-Color High Heat/Engine Enamel paint works well for brake calipers, Duplicolor also makes a kit for calipers if you would rather use that.

The caliper kit: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/caliper.html

The High Heat: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/engine.html

You can get this at a bunch of places, including Wal*Mart

 

EGR Brakes has a kit. http://www.egrbrakes.com/
Also think I saw a caliper paint kit at Autozone or someplace like that.

 

There was a nice thread in the Rocky Mountain section about a week ago that you might want to check out.

You need to make sure that the paint are heat resistant.

 

I got mine from Eastwood two years ago and over 7000 miles later it still looks great. www.eastwoodco.com

 

Getting ready to order the stuff from Eastwood---Anyone else have something better they can recommend?? Or as long as you get the high heat stuff it should be OK..

 

See the article at www.fca-se.org/conc_17.htm

 

Found this kit at Advance Auto today $15.94 for the kit. Will give it a try and ley you guys know how it worked out...

 

What did you do with the ferrari logo/letters ??? Paint over them?

 

never mind... I just read the article - duh

 

Just did the rear ones, started to do the front and all the bristles from this cheap ass paint brush fell out. Will finish the fronts tomorrow...You will def. need at least 2 coats with this paint

I used the $15 duplicolor kit from Wal-Mart on my Subaru. The brush is terrible, and it's very thin paint requiring ~4 coats, but it looks good afterwards.

 

any thoughts ( I know this maybe a matter of taste) on what color to paint the calipers on a black mondial...I am thinking of black or red...wondering if anyone saw a mondial with painted calipers and if they saw a color they liked...I am planning on going with 360 wheels so the calipers will now show and the OEM steel is kinda ugly given today's fashion of painting the calipers of street cars.

 

Either red or yellow are safe choices. If you have a black car with shields yellow might look great (ie if there is other yellow on the car to accent). Otherwise I'd go red.

 

I was a purist (only OEM stock for me...hey..I don't need no stinkn' badges..) 'till this site corrupted me..so....shields on my Mondail T..why not....well anyone have any idea the "proper" location for these badges..I think you have a sharp idea...yellow to match the badges (see how this creeps along..360 wheels..then I have to paint the brakes..paint them yellow to match badges..so have to install badges) I guess I could always repaint and black does seem boring...I was researching this and thought do I go with the "puffy" plastic badges or the real steel enamel ones that seem to need a "dent" in the bodywork to fit properly...thanks
