Painted calipers

[Nicnak]

Has anyone painted their calipers yet? From what I'm being told, it's not an easy process.

Not difficult to paint at all, I did mine mounted on the car. You just need to carefully mask what you don't want painted. Used VHT caliper paint, it looks excellent and is holding up very nicely after 3500 miles, a couple of race days and driving in all kinds of weather.

@ GT DAVE, that's some precision there! Did you put a new Brembo sticker on?

 

[GT_Dave]

Yes, new stickers, same as the existing logo. Total cost $10 for paint $20 for 3 sets of stickers for 4 calipers.
Took about 1.5 hours for all of the work.

Looks fantastic.

I would caution you on painting them if you're going to be tracking it heavily. The paint will most likely fade.

Otherwise, have at it as the pics above look great!

If this is holding up there is absolutely no reason to buy the R calipers. Where did you get the graphic done ?

I did the artwork for the Brembo stickers for the front and rear, a local vinyl shop made the stickers for me. X-Treme Graphics.

Have you tracked your car yet? Does it hold up well?
Is there a clear coat over the stickers?

Is there a writeup on properly removing the calipers and bleeding the brakes for the GT350? Looking to attempt replacing the calipers with the R calipers.

I can't find those "GT350" decals on amazon.
Got a link?
