painting my calipers

[perkinsbrandon72]

hey guys i have a black x and iam kinda going with the blacked out look and i kinda want to paint my caliper what color should i paint them black or red.

You should powdercoat them, not paint them. But if your going to paint them go with black, the red won't hold up well and will look horrible in no time at all, at least with black you won't be able to see it.

Black. Leave the red for the ricers.

I have a black X and I did mine silver, I think it gives a nice clean look, with at least some contrast.

Yeah, id go with black too...

I almost bought the paint to do it, then I realized I need to quit wasting my money on cosmetics, and buy the parts I need to get it on the road first lol

Duplicolor makes a caliper specific paint. Works quite well. Have had it on my Mustang for a couple years now and still looks great.

Just cleaned them real good with some brake cleaner, the scuffed them with a little sand paper. Masked and painted.
Cost like $30 to do all 4.

Thanks Jon. I love having PC in house. I just find my oven is too small for the things I really want to coat.
