Caliper Paint?

[nateb06]

I was wondering do i really need to buy special paint for it because of the heat, or can i just use the can of red rustoleum i have in my basement, or mabye got to homedepot and get some high heat red paint? i don't feel like shellin 40$ for paint at autozone

High heat paint works fine but i wish I had a brush on woulda been alot easier .

go to autozone and get a caliper painting kit. Comes with the cleaner and everything u need. Its only like $20

yeah i saw some at auto zone as well, from what i remembered, it was really cheap, i was about to buy some, but figured to save some money for more important things

[bnight04]

shellin' out $40??? yo go to autozone, pep boys whatever and for $15 bucks you get a kit with caliper cleaner, paint paint brush masking tape. I have used thsi twice now 1st time in silver and 2nd i bought red andi never had a problem. my brother in law who went out and spent some crazy cash on "specialized paint" his started to chip andgot really dirty. my $15 investment worked wonders, always clean when i washed tha car and never chipped, i only did it a 2nd time cuz i wanted to change colors to red...LOOKS FABOLOUS

$20? hah $15? hah

I paid less than 5. All you need is high temp paint.

but its easier with the brush on and it comes with the cleaner a brush a metal brush to clean masking tape and stirring stick but how did it come out with the spray paint did u take everything of or just mask it

[ptrudel]

i sprayed it...took everything off, cleaned it, sprayed it, cleared it, and left it...the color still looks like when i did it after 1.5yrs of driving on dirt roads, in winter, on salt roads...and i paid about $10 for everything and didnt take very long

[pimpalero2003]

yeah but those who dont know how to take everything apart or that are just lazy like me the kit is easy

[ptrudel]

its not hard to get to the calipers IMO...couple bolts, a c clamp for the caliper, new crush washers and you're set...

[eag182]

I removed the wheel and thats it. Little masking, spray some coats, done.
