Brake caliper painting

[DXX]

If you want a 100% durable finish get them zinc metal sprayed, obviously only one colour and they would need to be stripped.

I painted ours a few months back with the E-Tech paint. I was really happy with the results. Unfortunately as you can see in one of the photos, the discs were on their last legs. My local garage changed the discs/pads but knocking the calipers back on took some paint off. I'll have to take the wheels off and touch them the best I can. I've attached a couple of photos taken before discs replacement.

If the animals had pushed the piston back properly they would need to chip the paint.

IMO - yes they do. It’ll finish off a lovely van.

Thanks Mike.
I think your right just wasnt looking forward to doing them.
I've just got a pack of smaller brushes. Will have a go this weekend I think..

Just seeing who has had experience of having their calipers painted.
Did you get them done off the van?
Did you bother with a full refurbishment or just paint?
If painted on the van is the finish ok or does it look messy/bits get missed?
How much did you pay?
Anyone from Team Indium what colour did you go for? (I’ve got black alloys and was thinking a gold/bronze/copper colour, opinions welcome)
Thanks in advance!

I brush painted mine. First one off the van-massive faff and hard to get back on without damaging the paint.
Other 3 on the van.
I used a drill attachment to get the surface pretty good.
The caliper paint is hard to brush on-runs, drags, etc.
If doing again I’d mask up and spray them.
