I want to paint my brake calipers to match my car, can someone give me some advice besides "dont get paint in the wrong areas." Im thinkin I should grind away most of the brake dust, and then get some rubbing alcohol. What am I missing?

Duplicolor sells a brake caliper painting kit at stores like Wal-Mart, Autozone, NAPA, etc. that comes with everything you need plus instructions. It comes with some cleaner and a can of paint with an application brush- this way you dont have to mask off everything and worry about spraying your rotors red or something.
I've been trying to pick up one in silver to match my car, but I can usually only find red and yellow anywhere, plus im lazy and dont have time to hunt around lately. But its definately the way to go, IMO. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
