Painting Calipers

[B21]

Anyone ever do a wrap on a caliper? asking for a friend... :stir:

I assume your friend’s calipers would be covered in a plastic gloop thereafter…

La peinture pour les étriers est Foliatec carbon metallic. Tu as 125 ml de peinture et 50 ml de durcisseur de quoi faire facilement 2 voitures. Donc ne mélange pas tout. Moi j'ai utilisé que 50ml de peinture pour faire les 4 etriers

Приємно знати… не знаєте, скільки людей тут вільно розмовляють французькою?

:rofl:

I painted mine and the paint cost less than £20 and took me a day to do and I did take my time and gave them 2 coats.20C13CC3-60A3-425A-9421-4DBB4A938C15.jpegF98A1934-96ED-49FF-BFE6-E7A4EB58FC2C.jpegCF561317-B85B-4A25-93D9-8C4C230FACFA.jpeg

What type and size of brush did you use to do your calipers?

I can’t remember but they were just cheap small ones. I think I got them from Home Bargains or something like that. Very similar to artist brushes. Make sure you get some masking tape……

I did my own,pretty simple. If you are careful you can leave the caliper on but removing the 2 bolts that hold it is pretty simple. I think I did 3 coats... Can do in a day... I also changed out the rotors to coated versions-nice visual upgrade.

Thanks for the tip, I'll certainly be following that!
