Guest SBA Guy Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hello-I am looking to paint my calipers on my 02 Vert. I heard that powdercoating is the best way to do this. Does anyone know of someone that does this locally with a good job and price?Thanks in advance!Aaron Holas480-510-0894. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anmracing2 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Eatwood has a good paint for calipers. It's not powder coat but it looks just as good....http://www.eastwoodco.com/Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I just used the G2 Caliper Paint system for mine (Im pretty sure BLACKSEDAN87 did the same as me) and I have no issues with it. It has held up great the past 2 years. Took me one afternoon to do and I was happy with the turnout. Tanya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanya he may have in the past T, but i remember him saying when we were at Famous Sams that he had a local company do the powdercoating, as someone mentinoed that there was a new forum vendor over at CF that was doing caliper painting.i used the duplicolor kit for my rear calipers on my black car and they turned out pretty good!

I re-did it recently and the calipers powdercoated Blood Red and hand lettered in black. I also re did the caliper carrier in black because I had painted it originally when I painted the calipers. The G2 kit is great, for best results, really take your time and do it.I re-did it in anticipation of getting new wheels (which I now have). The new wheels show ALOT more of the calipers and the rotors than the old chrome wagons.Here's a crappy picture of the new wheels and the calipers.....Gotta take a better picture in the daylight......

F22trainer Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Arizona powdercoating on Washington St.VERY reasonable, but they do have a lot of business and take about a week.Excellent selection of colors and finishes.I'm hoping to get my valve covers to them - silver, of course.

BSeery Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Can you powdercoat calipers??I know that powder coating melts around 400 - 450 degrees, that is how it's applied. I would worry about the brakes getting a little warm after some spirited driving and causing problems. Maybe the calipers are far enough away from the heat that it won't be a problem, but I think I would use the epoxy paint instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, your car always looks TOP NOTCH anyway. Take care. Tanya Thanks Tanya and Tim! I loved the chrome wagons, but it was time for a newer look. And these sure do make the car look different!Powdercoating works okay on the calipers because they don't get that hot. A lot of guys spray their calipers with Rustoleum - and not the high temp stuff neccessarily. And I think Chris is right - the O.E.M. Z06 calipers are most likely powdercoated, though I don't know that for sure.Besides - as Mr. ICULUKN is so fond of telling me, I don't need to worry about that because I don't drive my car....I just clean it. And also as he says - I don't have anything under the hood to make it go fast!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
