Brake Caliper Paint Job

Fman007 · 05-15-2015, 04:04 AM

Amazon has actually been the most helpful. Customers have posted pics in their reviews. The purple color is actually a Fuschia color. Looks more PINK than Purple. But on my pretty blue....it might have worked....but I ended up ordering another batch of RED since I have the Sport Akebonos and want a nice heavy coat. I had spent 3 hours last weekend with a drill and wire wheel attachment. My stuff is stripped! I hope this come out good like yours. Thanks for the post man.

some people indicated that you can just paint over the sport calipers with the G2 without sanding/grinding. Just cleaning is sufficient as the G2 stuffs stick really well.

Force of habit.......I always strip stuff down before I paint. I later read it bonds with the paint....so hopefully I didn't make it worse.

Perhaps it helps with some primer first.
