Painting Calipers

It's not that hard if you take your time and are very careful.

The removal of your tires is required and i'd suggest using a paint brush so that you won't have to mask other parts/bolts/rubber hoses from using a spray paint.

some will actually go ahead and completely remove the caliper so that they have the whole unit to work with, but myself and several others just went ahead and kept the calipers in place but were just careful not to get paint on the rotor.

Depending on drying time of the produce you use, this should be an all day project so that you can allow the paint to cure.

 

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, :twisted: j/k . Plus patience is key, do not rush anything. You get better results that way.

 

lmao. and my driveway still has red and black dots from when the paint on the caliper would drip. guess i shoulda used MORE newspaper to soak it. lol

 

black or red are the best ways to do it

 

+2 with Evolve247. I would do the whole removal thing cuz im anal like that. and then replace all bolts with new s.s. allen head bolts.

I would use a high temp building primer to make real smooth and then use a sealer primer(white). Then follow up with a nice red high temp. Help prevent from fading. Lasly a high temp clear. ooooh! u can put a lancer decal on there b4 the red and peel it off after u paint the red. This will leave the lancer writing in white. Then add the clear. Daamn! Im anal but now i wanna do it.

Gee thanks guys! LOL! Pier pressure is b***h!
