Ohhh goodness............ I think that I just threw up in my mouth.

LOL

I think that G2 does custom colors. G2 - producer and distributor of the G2 BRAKE Caliper Paint System Set and other high quality carstyling and performance products.

EDIT: G2 requires that you buy 12 kits to do a custom color.

Sorry

I think Pink could look good. Especially on a Alabaster car, but only the calipers. Leave the windshield surround silver

You had me right up until the point you said boyfriend... then I stopped reading.

...either way, glad to see more people taking interest in their car (male or female)...good luck with your little project and let us know (and see) how it turns out.

You don't really need a caliper specific paint, any automotive spray paint will do. I've painted plenty of calipers using stuff as basic as Krylon. In fact, the ONLY time I ever had an issue of any kind was when using the G2 Caliper Paint Kit - it seems more prone to chips than anything else I've ever used.

A couple of tips though: make sure to clean the calipers very thoroughly with brake cleaner and an old towel first. If you're going to paint the calipers while on the car, spray the paint into a paper cup and then brush it on with a small foam paint brush. Two or three light coats are better than a single heavy coat. Let the paint dry overnight before driving the car.

In my experience even basic paint has held up for several years even when the car is used for track days, canyon runs and other situations where the brakes are used heavily.

And hey, if you want pink calipers on a white car, go for it. If my wife wanted to do this I'd be fine with it.... in fact, if she were really smart she would have had me do this to her current car - there's no way I'd ever drive it with pink calipers!!!

yep. I agree with Mike. i'm going to paint mine Allis Chalmers orange, using the industrial coating for farm implements. Tough paint. About three coats should do it, clean the calipers well, and enjoy. I think the pink on the white will look good, for a girls car. Kinda like nails painted. LOL!

I was just having a little fun Jocie. Actually, I think that a light pink on the alabaster car would not look bad (for a girls car

).

Make your own pink paint. Start with half a cup of white and add a drop of red. Mix well. Not pink enough? Add another drop of red and mix well. If it comes out too pink, add in more white. When you like what you see brush it on.
