POLL: Help Paint my Brake Calipers

[revolution]

Decided to let everyone else decide how i'm going to do this - I want to paint the Front and Rear Disc Calipers on my white RS... So far, in this little African Country i cannot find proper Caliper Paint Kits, so i will have to make do with either SILVER, BLACK OR RED High-Heat Paint... Although i do kinda feel like red is so common...

Soooooo, I thought it would be cool to have everyone else choose what colour I should paint them?? All comments appreciated, and when I'm done i'll post up pics!!! :thumbsup:

I did black on mine

Red would show nice with the white. No powdercoaters there?

Hi Vioz,

Got any pics of your Black Calipers? Would be great to see how they look!!

@Klink10, Nope, now powdercoaters here! And can u imagine, we don't even have Credit Cards here so i can't even order online. Malawi is pretty much Cash and Cheque Banking, nothing else, Grrrrrr!!!

Hmmm, the more i Google it, Black Calipers with White Decals would look super hot on a white car too...... What decals though.. hmmm!?

[Klink10]

Wow, learn something new everyday. I feel for you.

stay away from powdercoating high temp items like rotors and calipers. the plastic actually holds heat in as it's an insulator as opposed to paint which can pull heat out and vent to atmosphere.

any high temp paint will work, calipers almost never see temps above 300, much less than the 800* rating on high temp paints. but, you'll have to watch out for brake cleaner from now on because if you spary the caliper it'll peel the paint. while you got the calipers off and the rotors are just dangling...clean them up and get the rust off and paint them silver or black as well. it'll keep the rust down...again as long as you dont spray them with brake cleaner.
