    Red Brake Calipers

    First, let me thank everey one here, this is a great site. This is my first post but I've been comming to the site for some time now.


    I have a quick question. For those of you who have painted the Brake Calipers on your corolla's, how often have you had to re-paint? Or have you been able to go without repaint? What kind of paint do you recomend?

    thanx

    Welcome!

    I think you mean painting the brake calipers instead of the rotors. The calipers ride on top of the disc/rotor. Most people go with a 1000 degree paint. Nobody has repainted them yet that I know of...

    paint is not that good... epoxy paint is better... something like G5 it works very well... ... better yet... get it powdercoated...

    yea, powdercoating would be best..but i wouldnt spend the money to powdercoat my stock calipers..if i was getting a big brake kit or something with a different caliper, would be the only way id powdercoat it..
