Spraying Brake Calipers

330 Views 9 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  DurhamLad1973
Am getting this done next weekend, not sure what colour to go for, want them to look satndard. The car is 06 plate and the capliers appear to have surface rust.

Was thinking of just doing em in the silver brake caliper paint halfords do and adding lacker, how do you think this will look?

if you want subtle then silver is a pretty good choice, or even black would still look nice if you dont want anything LOUD

subtle but tidy!
Nice 1 those pics were a huge help, thank you. Silver will look nice, can always spray a brighter louder colour on at a much later date.
Just need to get some laquer...

I have just done mine in silver lewis, They dont stand out that much but just make the car look more "detailed" and tidy.

Get yourself some Halford high temp paint and a wire brush and do it yourself...
Its really easy and im sure there's a guide somewhere in the forums too which helped me
My red high temp paint has lasted well over a year

Yeah I am going for silver to blend in as standard calipers are anything to shout about appearence wise. But I am liking the red looks very smart but I would imagine hard to keep clean. My mate who is a mechanic does all the work on my
and he will spray em for me when I get my tyres and oil changed.
