Want to make your wheels pop while also setting your car apart from the rest? A respray of the caliper color might just be the best way to get that new look. As you know, many high performance and exotic vehicles come with brightly painted calipers from the factory. G2 Brake Caliper Paint Kit is one of the best caliper paints. This little detail goes a long way in giving the car an interesting focal point behind the wheels. I’ll give you a list of some quick dos and don’ts when deciding to paint your brakes.
Spraying on the vehicle is a rookie move and will leave you with a budget look. You may not want the hassle of removing hardware and bleeding the system, but you will have overspray, you will have edges that were not reached, and the paint will peel and flake off. Also spraying the entire assembly just looks half assed. How many high performance cars do you see with painted hardware and pads? None; so don’t do it.
Paint over rust will cause the paint to fail quite rapidly, resulting in flaking paint. Not to mention the fact that you are drawing more attention to your calipers with color, and when your paint is flaking, more people will take notice.
This makes the job look more professional, as the factory wouldn’t paint hardware. If you need to clean it up use a wire wheel. If you have to paint, again, only use black or silver paint for the hardware. This will offset the new color. This gives your brakes a more “technical” look.
