Matches the wheels really nicely

I painted my calipers just last spring. Came out beautiful, make sure to paint the drums too if you are thinking of doing this. The rust can get really ugly, especially if there are big gaps in your wheels. I wrote Toyota on mine for a little personal touch too. Came out OK, not stellar.

Nice....

the problem is... they not selling the caliper paint brush in Australia...

most of people buy the spray one....

Letsrock · 10-23-2008, 06:08 AM

What is a Caliper brush? Wouldnt a set of different size brushes work just as good?

Violin · 10-23-2008, 09:40 AM

I used the G2 paint. It comes with a brush.

*kimona* · 10-23-2008, 10:19 AM

That looks great, Violin!

No one has painted their drums right?

If you do, you should be banned from here.

if you dont paint them they will rust. ANd it looks worse. I dont agree with the yellow ones that someone mentioned but a black repaint keeps them looking sharp.

darthbauer · 10-24-2008, 12:59 PM

Black im ok with. Just not bright colors.

*kimona* · 10-24-2008, 01:08 PM

I wouldn't paint the drums anything but black. But, we each have our own ideas about what looks good.

thatboyjer · 10-24-2008, 03:32 PM

i thought the same about the whole black rear drums until i saw a yaris painted w/ yellow drums and calipers, he had some body work done and introduced the yellow to other parts of the car for a nice clean look.

it all depends on how you do it

WeeYari · 10-26-2008, 03:57 PM

I'll have to wait until spring when I switch over from winter wheels before doing mine now.

When I do paint them (red) I've been thinking about painting a little emoticon on there as well. Sure made my wife and daughter giggle.

husaynkhan · 08-01-2010, 02:49 PM

great clean work. did you paint it with a BRUSH????

Qmobile · 08-01-2010, 05:01 PM
