I found that using the stuff that coats tool handles is the best, and longest lasting way to paint brake calipers.
I used a kit from USPlastic ( Plasti-Dip Create Your Color Kit | U.S. Plastic Corp. )
You can mix up almost any color you want - total cost with shipping around $20

These are my findings - use at your own risk !!!!

 

I'll be painting my Calipers once the Summer heat subsides, and there's something of a kool breeze in the driveway.

It's hard to tell from the Product description what you get.

Is it a small bottle of each color in the image...???

Or you pick a color and get one (1) 14 oz bottle.

And what's in the big metal can....???

I'm thinking you get the big can of a base color, like white, and those little bottles to mix a blend you like.

Details welcomed...

Thanx...

 

You've had that on for awhile and got the brakes good and hot? I can't imagine plastic holding up to caliper/rotor heat and not melting. I guess that's good stuff if it holds up. I believe it was GripGrip that recently posted about having to re-do his engine cover that he did in plasti-dip spray? because of engine compartment heat.

 

Plasti dip is only good for around 200F (if memory serves), so it will likely harden and discolor when the calipers get hot. I've used G2 paint on calipers in the past with great success.

Before:






After:

 

You are probably correct, however, I just returned from a 250 mile drive, and there is no discoloring.
Guess I'm living right ( or not using the brakes enough ) !!!

 

Sweet! If it's not broken don't fix it.

 

You may be fine if you never do any heavy breaking, but I would not want to see what they look like after a pass through the Dragon.

 

So the cai that I just bought from you has the plastic dip thats only good for 200 degrees?

 

He stripped the plasti dip off and repainted it with flat black paint from what he said in another post.

 

Whew! Thanks, I missed the other post. I was hope'n it was something like that. I'll go pick it up at the P.O. today.
