This is the post when I did mine:

Using the spray paint is the way to go. Tape the whole car, use a plastic bag for the wheel hub. It was really easy. I spent more time cleaning the calipers than painting them. I was able to paint the back side of the calipers but takes some contorsionists class!
Please post pics!

Which ceramic spray paint did you use?

Did you spray a clear coat?

What about decals?

 

Which ceramic spray paint did you use? duplicolor

Did you spray a clear coat? yes, ceramic also

What about decals? xenonmods

 

That looks so much nicer than the brush on paints. I tried that G2 garbage. It worked well on my BMW but sucked on the Porsche. The Porsche calipers were too smooth and it showed brush marks. It looked terrible. I eventually had them powercoated which looked factory. However, they're pretty much ruined from the track so I'm considering doing them myself this time.

Have you been to the track yet Joe? If so, does it hold up?

 

not track but it's my DD and I put 100 miles everyday... They still look like the day I did them...

I am certainly very impressed as to what you have done here.

I am still considering powder coating because I am going to braided lines and new rotors.

It seems it's just as easy for me to powder coat and rebuild them.

However, what you ahve done is fantastic.

 

Hey, where did you get your wheels... ?

 

E-bay .Some place in so cal Santa Ana or Garden grove Ca I believe.It was 2 years ago .Here is my updated Pics with the ALL yellow Calipers.Looks much better I think .NO brush strokes and OEM looking .Used Duplicolor Caliper Paint and did not remove the calipers Just masked off everything real good and did 1 wheeel at a time with my floor jack .took about 3 hours do do all 4

 

Very cool, nice touch with the calipers.... I thought you might have purchase your set from Wheel Dynamics.

Looks nice,

Hey Thats a great place , I looked on the website and those are my Exact Wheels!! GT5 wheels 19" Staggard look.I really like the Red Cayman with custom painted Red Gt5 wheels and the black Cayman with the Aluminum looks good too.I think the guy I bought them from Must have got them from Wheel Dynamics.He was just a middle man and as I remember a broker using the wholesalers websites and their inventory(no wonder I piad $500.00 more).thanks for the info k. wish I had know about Wheel Dynamics 2 years ago ..Dam

 

Yeah, Wheel Dynamics does quite a bit of business and usually has pretty decent deals for the wheels they offer. . . . I thing your wheel color and brake combo is still a nice choice.

Thanks Much

 

Thanks for the info on the high heat paint I think that I might do mine red...

 

spray can is the only way to go.
That way you can do the primer+enamel+sticker+clear. and you should be set.

Hi guys, I have a question.

I previously painted my calipers and would like to change the color now. DO I need to remove the old paint before putting apply the new coat? Or can I just apply over the old paint?
