Does anyone know where I could find pink caliper paint?

Gideon · 10-17-2009, 10:36 PM

G2 has gotten decent reviews in the past for their caliper paint, it's also available in pink.

Here you go!

thanx! but seems kinda pricey...has anyone seen pink caliper paint in stores?

CTScott · 10-17-2009, 11:37 PM

VHT makes an engine enamel in hot pink for about $7 a can. I noticed it a while ago in a local autoparts store.

ive looked at like auto zone and stuff with no luck yet. that rustoleum color is the exact color i want...it is okay to use that spray on the calipers? ive never heard of using that before...but if itll work then

think thatll work well to paint my center console too?

Just be sure you prime your calipers, or it might not adhere well.

DandiDani · 10-18-2009, 01:14 PM

DandiDani · 10-18-2009, 01:22 PM

JumpmanYaris · 10-19-2009, 03:13 PM

Bah

PETERPOOP · 10-19-2009, 03:15 PM

Will that be able to withstand the heat over time?

I read of people painting their calipers, and it turning all sorts of colors...

TinyGiant · 10-19-2009, 03:46 PM

DandiDani · 10-19-2009, 07:33 PM

i found this ^ but seems a lot to pay for some paint. idk. i wish i really knew if the rustoleum spray would work fine.

ozmdd · 10-19-2009, 07:53 PM

How hard do you work your brakes? If you don't track it or do a lot of autox, then I think the rustoleum should be ok. What's the temp rating on it?

DandiDani · 10-19-2009, 08:17 PM

i dont do anything like that. just to work and back and errands. car show here and there. im not sure bout the temp rating tho

...will have to look into that.

If you get the brush on kind of high temp paint, then you could mix hot pink and white to get the shade you want.
