Supra-Brett Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Got round to finally painting them! Black with the white supra logo and red strip, will put picks up in a while when my sis comes:dlooks much better than a chav light blue! Im pretty sure i know what the answer is going to be her, BUT. Do you have to remove the brakes themselves to do this or is it easy enough just leaving them on as they are ? Obviously for a propper job it should all nbe dismantled, but is it easy enough without doing that ? When i got my car over 16months ago the calipers still had the original silver paint on them, latley this has come off and theyve started to rust. Is much prep required ? can it be done by hand ?

Guest CoolsBlue Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 kit £23 squid, left them on, painted over what the eye can see, left all the clips, needle at the back and nuts unpainted..laid it on a bit thick where you can see a overlap, but when you fit the stickers it doesent bother you...

TurboBrett Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 hardly a kit, just a pot of 'calliper paint' aww i was expecting cleaning stuff aswell:rolleyes: and for £23 i will stick to appliance paint;) never had a problem on the mini with that, i have overheated the brakes on a few occasions to the point where i had to stop and wait for them to cool:D no flaking and its still on there now (3 years on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I just used Hammerite black on mine, and it didn't take too long to do, except for jacking the car up and getting the wheels off etc. It was a good exercise, and they still come up very well after 6 months of driving.

justice Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 iv got my UK spec callipers here in front of me and was just wondering if I get them powder coated tomorrow will it ruin any of the seals, or will the front 2 callipers need stripping right down?

supra steveo Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Don't think there is any need to strip them down unless you are renewing the seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
