Caliper Mod
So I received my G2 Orange Brake Caliper paint kit yesterday and went right to work. Jacked up the car, got all the wheels off, put it on jack stands, then went to town. It took around 5 hours. I took my time as to not screw anything up, but I am very happy with the results. Here are some pics below... I'll post some more once I have the wheels back on the car later.

How is the finish of the brushed on paint? Do you think you can put decals back on them?

I don't see the Decals having a problem sticking to the painted Calipers. After this G2 paint cures for 24 Hrs, it really hardens up.

I put on the Brembo decals, then sprayed clear coat over them. What I'm finding is that the paint is chipping. Each time the wheels are taken off, they are getting scrapped ;(
You did a good job!

Brake Cleaner Included with the Kit. I did scuff it up a bit with a wire brush when using the brake cleaner, then just wipe it with a rag.

ok im seriously considering doing this in White, but the problem is that im a total noob when it comes to car parts. calipers are the things that attach to your brake pads to break?
Do you need to take off the calipers to paint them? and if you do, how do you take them off? after you paint them, do you need a torque wrench to torque it back to a certain whatever lbs? also are there certain parts where you should not paint because they will need to be removed and will cause it to chip and crack? Sorry my english is bad lol. Thanks guys. |
