    Painting Calipers

    Hi guys,

    I have never been the greatest at painting my calipers. Old Z had red calipers, current Z has been blue and now purple

    I love the purple - But it close up they don't look like they should be that colour. It LOOKS painted.

    Any tips on how to make them look really nice and look like they SHOULD be that colour?


    Maybe remove calipers completely and de-grease/strip them?

    Use spray or tinned paint?

    Cheers!


    Should have my engine sorted within less than a week. Fitting coilovers as soon as the engine is done. Also in process of stripping a set of straights to refurb in gloss black, and wind deflectors are in the back on the fiesta ready to fit too, AND some really nice seat belt pads! haha EXCITED.

    only way would be powder coated it makes them look like they are that colour but painting with a few layers should look good

    As soon as I received my 160 brake set up, I sent them off to be blasted and powder coated. Long lasting finish
