Yes, how you learned that? You need to try it out yourself too, right? You didn't understand the concept of spoon too, right? You messed up your cloths, face and the dining table too, right?

For an adult, I believe that you have a better ability to learn something new to you. Make a brieft search in the internet if you need to understand the caliper more. Otherwise, take the wheel off and start from there. You might need some tools and you may messed it up the first time. You might also need to spend some money to get someone to fix it back for you but hey.. you did that 20 year ago, okay.

forget painting it. just use a steel brush and keep them clean :)

not a good idea to use that caliper cover guys...it will only trap the heat in the caliper set rather than helping to cool em off!

Lol , so many brake caliper paint thread..

I sprayed my calipurs before, and the brakes kinda jammed up because the paint went in the brake pistons.
Have to service the brakes and clean the paint off... :(
I think they've also used the high temp spray for my calipurs....

Spraying is not recommended for ppl who drive hard and brake hard I would say... Unless maybe we get the real approved brake calipur paint with chop SIRIM...

guys,

anyone used the Brembo fake caliper plastic cover?, can tahan the heat?

About the heat, I'm not sure can tahan or not....
but you can't tahan the laughs and mockery from people around certainly... hehe... chill bro...

Yes Duplicolor is best but Ace dont have stock right now. I used Abro spray paint which takes 200 degrees. Seems to hold out ok.

Waiting for Duplicolor for the engine headers. Shown pics are from my Neo and Myvi i did last month.

uuu shinny

use the high temp spray. no need take off. just use warm water to clean your calipers until smooth like ar$e then cover your fenders/whatever with newspaper and just spray. might need a day to dry since no sunlight wahtsoever under there. mind you, you're spraying all 4 units of calipers rite so yeah its gonna take you like half a day or so. but outcome is gonna look pretty. uu shinny

 

[frank118]

Yeah almost one day, did 2 cars. Damn tiring, had to go for massage after that..:hmmmm: but satisfying....sigh...

Yeah..i applied to my extractor and so far its holding well...brake calipers dont need to use that...normal spray paint will do RM10 only.

[frank118]

Its a spray paint for BBQ pits actually with stand till 800c. Unless you can get hands on duplicolor which is out of stock which can take 1200c...around RM46.80.

Ace Hardware...2 colors only black and grey...
