it's ok to use aerosol paint bro.i've also done it before.no problem at all.
there's hardly any oil at the caliper so why worried.if looking for black,
make sure it's the hi-temp paint.

yup u can use the high temp aerosol paint.. can buy one la.. the most important is clean the surface 1st..

if u r spraying 1st the install might be a problem.
coz when install sure will get dirty n kena oil.

try clean it 1st, then install.
after install make sure to clean it back from oil/dirt/etc.
then cover where u do not want to spray.

use high temp spray for better heat resistance.

btw, i just use normal red spray.
until now no problem. just get dirty from disc pad dust.

i used normal spray too.. some elcheapo ones. And it lasted til now i guess.. later let me take a peek at my calipers. lol.

Yesteday, i painted the caliper with cat kilat . Hahahaha :stupid:
turns out reeeliiiii uglyyyyyyy
then have to remove the paint . . . again


Finally today i painted it with normal tin spray flat black . . . again
but, i added 2 layers of polyurethane clear gloss spray i got from ACE
Still not resistant to the oil, but at least its more resistant.

so, finally got to install the caliper n bleed it. Nice, yeaaahh, ride on


thanks guys


still, if anyone have info where to get the caliper paint, please do inform me.
I STILL WANT IT RELI BADLY

CarroTT : any pic of your cool new brake calipers? :)

what colour did u spray it?

 

[zephyr3d]

to be honest, i'm not sure la.. but i've not heard of "caliper paint" before.

At most is heat resistant paint, which they normally use for cam covers.. else, if really want the brembo finish, i think u need to powder coating.. that wouldn't worth it unless u have a skyline at least. lol.. just kidding bout the skyline bit. But at least for me.

 

[Lord_darkslide]

erkkk bro.. just asking...

y ur brake line kept bleeding brake oil?? something wrong is it???
supposed there shud be no brake oil leaking is ur hose/connection is ok...

1 more thing.. is going for black color.. better buy the heat resistance 1..

hope help.. ")

 

[nitrus]

Why if black colour gotta get heat resistant ? Something more special with black? The colour can't stick isit after awhile ?

You can use DupliColor Engine Enamel. Or you could use ACE High Temp paint. Since you go to ACE hardware, you could find these easily. The ACE silver high temp i have tested it on exhaust manifold before.

My results are, if you drive moderately, the paint can last. But when you drive hard the paint will start to have micro cracks. And would probably peel off later. Though the paint has lated me almost 1 year after i changed the exhaust manifold. It works wuite well on metal. But its not durable to touch. It is somewhat oil resistant.

Its much much more better than the normal arcylic paint BTW. But you only have normal color choice of black and silver.
