Paint Brake Calipers

[Tha_Infamous_E]

Is there a good paint for brake calipers that can be removed after I'm done with them? I don't want to get a fake plastic cover to mount onto the calipers for obvious safety issues, so I'd prefer to paint it. One of the most obvious is Plasti Dip and it'd be perfect except it can't hold much heat so I don't want it to melt off so easily, but I like the Plasti Dip concept of where it can be removed whenever easily. Is there another product like Plasti Dip that can be removed easily, but can sustain much more heat for the calipers?

You can just use caliper paint then use paint striper when you want to remove it.

Any specific brands for the Caliper Paint and the Paint Striper? Like VHT or something?

Yea, VHT is a good paint, for the paint striper any one will do there are a few that come in a spray can.

Alright, thanks! I'll head over to a store nearby and find some supplies.

Just an FYI. MGP makes powder coated, machine aluminum covers designed to fit the specific brake caliber for your car. I was contemplating painting mine but first want to try the MGP covers. Once mounted, they do not budge. They come in silver, black, or red plus you also have the option to custom order a color.

Here's mine:

No way in hell I would put some cheap covers on my Brembo brakes. That's what people do when they don't have performance brakes, they simulate.

DAM dude, no need to hate

Already got them painted and done, I didn't use the covers because it's too much of a wannabe type thing and doesn't look as real, I didn't want to advertise a brand of calipers I didn't really have, much better to just paint my original calipers so it's not poser status. Thanks regardless!
