Thread: Where do you go to get paint for calipers

pep boys, auto zone, carquest, napa, any parts store has it.

The store.

I've done the Duplicolor and the G2 kits. The G2 costs more, but it seems far more durable.

Where do I go? I last went to advance auto parts I believe.

i got vht caliper paint at pep boys.

I got the VHT stuff as well. Check out my rides thread for a picture. Had it on for over a year now and it looks
almost the same as when I put it on.

i used what was left of my can of vht to do my rear calipers today. so yes one can will do all 4 calipers. i also used duplicolor pre cleaner spray after i sanded them up.

came out nice.

high temp spray paint. paint last just fine.

^ It's more of a pain in the ass to have to cover everything when using spray cans, but as long as you clean the calipers well, you'll never have a problem. (Mine were painted with VHT caliper spray paint, and lasted 2+ years with no chips/flakes/scuffs)

whats this cover stuff up crap, i took mine off and hung them in the wheel well. papered the wheel well and sprayed them. 3 coats, let dry.

i took the caliper bracket bolts out and took them off as one unit, slid the pads out and painted them up. took 3 hours till i could touch them, put the pads back in, and held the caliper by the caliper bolts, and slapped them back on, put back the caliper bolts, and done.

i used 2 bungees on each side to hold the brakes up in the clear, one from the strut, the other i opened the back door and slammed it on the bungee cord to hold the other side.

i thought about masking it all off, for about 1 minute, and then broke out the socket set.

Welcome to the site

^That's exactly what I did too scotty, but with the g2 paint, since it's brush on, no need to dis-assemble, or cover anything.

fvck that, take the caliper off. its no big deal if youre doing your brakes at the time.
