Painting the brakes(?) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Havok · 05-05-2010, 11:07 AM

Someone gave me the idea to paint the brakes. Well not the actual brakes themselves but the box for the breaks (sorry I'm ultra bad when it comes to car part names). On mine its like a silver color and since my car is IBM I was thinking of painting them the same color. Anyone have any ideas or guides of how going about doing this? Thanks for the help.

Edit: I looked it up and I guess its called the Caliper. Atleast thats what it looks like.

G2 is a paint company( google them), and they can color match paint for you to paint your boxes, I mean calipers. LOL...J/K

SherwoodSS, I like the contrast between your calipers (Red) and the car. Did you paint those or powder coat them?
Thanks

Check our tire/wheel sponsor - Tirerack - they sell the G2 kit. That's where I bought my orange one.

G2 kit requires 4 jack stands or finding a lift for 6 hours :(

I used G2 to paint my calipers. I also used some clear coat to keep the brembo decals looking good.
