Full process:

-Sanded and cleaned front Calipers
-1 light coat of G2 Paint and let dry
-2nd thick coat of G2 Paint and let dry
-Put on vinyl brembo decals (from ebay)
-2 coats of clear high temp engine paint (with proper drying time in between)

Yes please...
Look great...I actually painted all the hub/top of the brake disk where it's all rusty...makes a HUGE difference in a really clean look (since you can see right through my rims).

Nice idea!

Looks great, but I'm skeptical of the longevity of those vinyl decals.

im hoping the high temp clear coat will help protect them...


thanks for all the nice comments everyone. i have wheels that im waiting to slap on, but i was hit with some rough financial situations, that prevented me from buying tires at the moment... will definitely post full car pics once everything is finished.

Why does no one ever take the caliper off to paint them?! Looks good though but my peal all over again.

it was a brush on paint so it was fairly easy to do it with them on

Even the clear coat?

It looks good though. I wonder how long it will hold up before it starts chipping. I know the spray on kind doesn't last long. The paint on might.

I don't think anyone really wants to go through the trouble of flushing their brake fluids to completely remove the calipers, unless you meant unbolting it and then somehow box it up/section it off so over-spray (if using spray-on caliper paint) doesn't get anywhere else. If it's the OP's brush on kit, then it probably would make a bit more sense to unbolt the caliper to give you easier access.

Also, really clean looking on the paint. This is actually giving me ideas for whenever I get a BBK for my Accord and going with a black and red theme with black as the priority.

I meant that no matter if its brush or spray the caliper needs to be sand blasted or at the very least sanded so the new paint wont peal. The new paint is only as good as what it is put over, same for painting anything!

agreed... im hoping that this will last a long time. i spent as much time as possible sanding and cleaning the caliper before painting.

It doesn't hurt to wax them either. Every time I wax the car I take off the wheels and put a coat of wax on the calipers while I'm at it
