I have done both! I painted them myself in yellow, but the came out terrible so I had a shop powder coat them.Has anyone tried to get their brake calipers painted yet?
How - yourself or from a panel shop?
and what colors?
You put plastidip on your calipers!? you know brakes get hot right? and that plastidip is not intended for use at high temperature...I tried painting and it was an epic fail. The paint didn't really want to adhere to the caliper. I was just using some caliper paint from autozone. So I ended up plastidipping them. So far so good.
Is that because they are powder coated and need to be cleaned before you paint them.I tried painting and it was an epic fail. The paint didn't really want to adhere to the caliper. I was just using some caliper paint from autozone. So I ended up plastidipping them. So far so good.
That sounds reasonable.I got the front and rear done and I paid 400. They had to remove the mess I made on my attempt, so I accepted the higher cost. I think the regular going rate by me is 300 or so. If you do it, remember that brake fluid destroys all, so be extra careful when filling and venting the brakes

Hi Kaps,That sounds reasonable.
