Any pics of what to tape? Not very good at DIY without exact instructions, but Red calipers would look great on my Red car!!

 

Tape anything you dont wanna paint!....lol....seriously, its not that hard....

 

Hope I'm not too late for this, just got my account activated yesterday !

My original black caliper paint was smooth and has no peelings... so I painted red over it, save me almost 3~4 hours... Thanks to John who spend his whole Sunday afternoon helped me out on this, I was just his little assistance !

4 layers of red paint...


3 layers of clear coat after decal...


Wait overnight and done!

 

Nice brakes!!! I didn't realized you have these on.... I'll check them out tonight.

 

No problem!

 

looks great

 

I like it. Once I come back from vacation I will do this mod.

 

Let me know if you need a helping hand

All you need to worry about during your vacation is that you going to paint it "BIG RED" or "YELLOW" ??

 

Yeah!!! Tough call. I have until Mar. to finalize my choice.
I do need help, you can hold up the car while I'm taping and painting them. Make sure to have a good lunch and some warm up exercise routine. Hahaha!!!

 

for those of you that have done it. Did you guys strip off the old clear coat with anything?!? Mine is all cracked up and wont make a very nice finish if i dont strip it all off. For those that have...what chemical did you use?

thanks

 

It comes with the caliper paint kit, a solvent/cleaner can spray, and will take you about .5~1 hour per caliper !!!

 

There's something wild and exciting about a woman with red calipers

 

I'll take that as a complement !

 

The solvent stuff only takes off the brake dust/dirt...i have actual chipped clearcoat on mine. It sounds like most people dont have this problem
