I'm reading this magazine advertises that dupli-color egine enamel can be used to paint caliphers with. Anyone think it'll work well? Or should i just go buy the calipher paint kit? I'm hesitating to buy the kit, because they come to $50 per kit.

 

Try G2 Caliper Paint

 

i just wanted mine to be a nice silver so i went to the hardware store n got some high temp paint and sprayed the calipers ....one can has enought for 3 to 4 coats and it cost me less then ten bucks

 

did you have to sand down the caliper, clean it, and primer it up first?

 

I went to the auto parts store bought a can of brake cleaner and a can of red high temp paint. I used one then the other and it worked great. No sanding. I just rotated the tires 9K miles later to find that the paint is dirty but still not peeling or cracked.

 

All i did was take a wire brush and give it a good cleaning and sprayed it and it came out looking great n lasted i cant tell you what it looks like now because i sold that car a while ago to get the tls.

 

any tips on how to cover up the rotar and stuff around it?

 

i saw one person in this forum use the newspaper to cover the part that he don't want spray paint at.
