Where do you go to get paint for calipers





I got the VHT stuff as well. Check out my rides thread for a picture. Had it on for over a year now and it looks
almost the same as when I put it on.
 
i used what was left of my can of vht to do my rear calipers today. so yes one can will do all 4 calipers. i also used duplicolor pre cleaner spray after i sanded them up.

came out nice.

^ It's more of a pain in the ass to have to cover everything when using spray cans, but as long as you clean the calipers well, you'll never have a problem. (Mine were painted with VHT caliper spray paint, and lasted 2+ years with no chips/flakes/scuffs)
 


whats this cover stuff up crap, i took mine off and hung them in the wheel well. papered the wheel well and sprayed them. 3 coats, let dry.

i took the caliper bracket bolts out and took them off as one unit, slid the pads out and painted them up. took 3 hours till i could touch them, put the pads back in, and held the caliper by the caliper bolts, and slapped them back on, put back the caliper bolts, and done.

i used 2 bungees on each side to hold the brakes up in the clear, one from the strut, the other i opened the back door and slammed it on the bungee cord to hold the other side.

i thought about masking it all off, for about 1 minute, and then broke out the socket set.
