Re-doing caliper paint
Re-doing caliper paint Hey guys,
I am doing a brake overhaul tomorrow and while I am down there I was hoping to do something about the crappy red brushed caliper paint fiasco that is cracking and peeling on my calipers. I have a nice drilled/slotted/zinc plated rotor setup going on the car to compliment my existing z06 wheels, so how do I make these calipers look better? Powdercoating is out the question, the money will never be worth it for that process. Can I just take an abrasive dremel wheel to the caliper to clean it up, and then spray with a high temp black paint? Do I need to primer? Is it even worth re-painting them because this will eventually happen again? Please let me know your stories/methods, etc. I used the search but I am looking for specifics. I want to remove the caliper rather than spray all over my car. I just need these calipers to look better than they do now. Thanks.
