Caliper paint - Toyota Yaris Forums

Once the wether gets nicer, I want to paint my brake calipers. Any feedback on this would be welcomed

I used good ol duplicolor engine paint, it will withstand the heat generated by the friction pads

uncleyaris · 02-12-2007, 02:08 PM

thanks for the heads up. Is that glossy or flat?

What about those caliper specific brush on paint kits? I always see them, they come in lots of colors, but are they crap?

I like G2

I used the G2 paint on mine. The heat rating is about twice that of the Duplicolor - and we all know how hot the brakes on these high performance Yarii can get.

I bought black Duplicolor caliper paint (spray can not the kit) from Pep Boys. It worked gread on the rear calipers of my Mustang and I am going to use it on the front calipers of the Yaris.
