Hammerite is one of the best, or twinpack/2k paint, or engine laquer!

*owen lcr* · 06-03-2010, 12:40

ok cheers

Hope this works some photos of painted brake calipers. I painted the calipers on Saturday 28th Feb 2010 took about 1 hour per caliper, I used car plan engine lacquer red, heat resistant 250ml used under half a can 2 coats drys very quick. seat leon fr 550 ‘Draco’ 18" alloy wheels

I agree with that

*owen lcr* · 06-03-2010, 14:32

i know but the brakes i have bought for the front are powder coated white, and i dont really want to spoil the finish of them, if i get them powder coated again does it not melt the seals and other parts???

cuprakemp · 06-03-2010, 21:23

you would have to strip the brakes down completely before re-coating them

beedie · 06-03-2010, 21:44

Why not just paint on top of the powder coating?
Saves having to strip them down (not a massive job) but you'd have to pay to get them powdercoated and pay for new seals.

*owen lcr* · 06-03-2010, 23:31

yeah i could do that, just need to get the best calliper paint i can find to do it properly, its a shame to cover the white powder coating but i suppose the car suits red.

*RobH* · 07-03-2010, 08:47

i think it would look good with the white calipers tbh.

IanG · 07-03-2010, 09:19

I've used Japlac to paint calipers in the past you get it at places like B&Q

12string · 07-03-2010, 10:06

I used E-Tech Caliper paint from Ebay which is excellent and does not need to be mixed with a hardner liike some caliper paints.
I don't think you can get it in white though.

*robdf2* · 07-03-2010, 10:19

that is pure brake sex , someone pass me the kleenex

*owen lcr* · 07-03-2010, 10:56

I think I will just need to put them on the way they are and see how they look. If I like them I will paint the rears White. If I don't I will paint the fronts red.

Rua1r1 · 07-03-2010, 13:07

I used Japlac high gloss enamel paint on mine, i undercoated the callipers first then put two coats off Japlac and they turned out very well.

*owen lcr* · 07-03-2010, 13:11

is the japlac temperature rated though, had a look but it wasnt mentioned
