Painting Brake Calipers


Total Time required 3-4 hours
Equipment Required: Factory Jack, Or Aftermarket Hydralic Jack ( Much Faster), Torque Wrench or socket set, Newspaper, Rags, Masking Tape, Rim Cleaner, Toothbrush, Patience!! Go to your local car hop up shop or auto supply store. Pick up some Engine Enamel, or Heat Resistant Paint, If you can't find the color for your car, just buy some heat resistant primer, and a laquer paint the same as your car color ( Car Paint Laquer!!)


1. Park your car on a flat surface
2. Jack up the Car One wheel at a time
3. Take your Rim off ( Loosen before jacking it up)
4. Clean your caliper with Rim cleaner ( RINSE IT OFF AFTER!!) Let it dry!
5. While the Caliper is drying, mask the rotor with some rags. Cover everything up except for the caliper the rag is flexible so it is easy!.. Put some newspaper or GArbage bags over the body so you don't get paint all over the car! ( Paint it in a gargage or a place sheilded from wind!)
6. Don't worry about painting the clips or screws on the caliper!! PAint it all inclding the back of the pad!!
7. Primer first if necessary, apply one coat at a time 4 coats should about do it!! Let the layers dry 10-20 Mins each layer. When the last layer has been put on, put the tire back on and proceed with the next rim!!
8. Do not drive your car for at least 8 hrs LET IT DRY! Or else ( Your brake dust will stick to your fresh pad and make it look like a donut with Black Hawaiin Sprinkles!!) 9. Be sure to tighten your bolt afterwards!!




NOTE: Remember use ENGINE ENAMEL, RUST PAINT, HEAT RESISTANT PAINT, or CAR BODY LAQUER PAINT!!
