Painting brake calipers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I want to have this done but there is no way im putting up my car on four jacks and taking apart the calipers. Don't have the knowledge or the tools for the job. I love the custom G2 paint I've seen on members cars but how else can I get this mod done?

You dont have to break-down or disconnect the calipers at all. Just take your wheels off. Alot of people just mask a little and paint the front of the calipers with them still mounted up and on the rotors and everything. I like to take the caliper off the rotor to paint them... just makes it easier to work with. Just be sure not to hit the brake pedal with the calipers off the rotors... you'll have fun getting those pistons back again.

Don't fear this mod, you can do it easily. Just take your time at it.

I don't know g-townmach I don't even have the jack stands to put it up on and take all 4 off.

Well, then that might make it a little tough I guess.

You could do one at a time if you had like a whole day I guess.

I found a fair solution but it's pricey: core exchange with member showstopper. Which means zero downtime just swap them out

What, you dont feel comfortable with your car like this?

Its not that hard, you just have to take your time. I doubt you can do one wheel at a time, since the paint is only good for a 4 hour duration. I imagine paying someone to paint them will cost you as much as the cor exchange. I say try it yourself, I had never done this and mine turned out great.
