Painted The Brake Calipers!

[BlueSS]

Finally got around to doing it, ended up going black after a long debate, but I now have a brand new Red G2 kit available for sale $30 shipped. Easily the best caliper paint i've ever used, hardens to a high gloss finish :rockon: My knees are sore today, but well worth it :coolman:

Kit:

Prep:

1st Coat:

2nd Coat:

3rd Coat:

Tape Off, But Now The Bracket Looks Crappy! :nono: Can't Have That!:

Painted Bracket:

Cobra Letters Cut Off:

Finished Close Up:

Couldn't have been an easier kit to use, results came out EXCELLENT! Blew away prior kits that I've used, like Duplicolor, which is only good to 500 degrees, this one is good to 950 degrees as well!

Let me know what you guys think :beer: ,

Thanks,
Neil

Looks good, but why not take the extra 3 minutes and remove the caliper and bracket and pop out the pads? It sure would have been a lot easier.

Looks perfect. Very nice and subtle, but not drab like they are stock.

this question might be stupid.... but do you paint that on with a brush?

Yes, it's a brush on kit :beer:

What did you mean in the part cobra letters cut off? How did you get the Cobra writting so clean and clear looking? Looks amazing by the way.

 

[piss&vinegar]

You can put vaseline on them and then paint over it or just paint and sand the paint on the letters off. Works good both ways!
