Brake caliper paint
Just a quick question on whether a special paint is needed for brake calipers.
I can't see them getting that hot like the discs will.
Can anyone recommend anything.
Can't make my mind up on colour, silver, black or gold. Choices, choices !!!!!!

Re: Brake caliper paint
It's not the heat it's the brake dust, brake fluid and cleaner that's the problem.
Ask a specialist how much to hard anodise or coat them ... I've heard caliper paint is Ok though.

Re: Brake caliper paint
I used brake caliper paint on a few refurbs.
The gold is a barstool to try and get a good finish with, its like piss with flakes in it.
