Painting Brake Calipers

Featured Replies

#1

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick question, I wanted to spray my calipers, I have the correct paint etc, but just wondering, does anything special need to be done due to the ABS?

Or can I pull them off, spray them and put them back on without hassles?

Thanks

Steve

yep u can pull em of no hasels mate

just clamp the lines so the fluid doesnt leak out tom much

and make sure u bleed it properly after to get the air out.

I sprayed my callipers on my old car without taking them off.

Just remove the bolts and take the caliper off and use a coathanger to make a hook to hang them up. Mask the brake lines using foil and masking tape, also mask the piston. Put newspaper in the wheel arch and spray away.

Dont really think purple coloured calipers would be noticed on a purple coloured car. Try something else that stands out.
