Anyone local to NJ that can do a good job painting calipers

Dark_Knight_335 · 06-03-2012, 01:42 PM

And hubs? Thinking of going black or red. Can't really give up the car for days, so a morning sit around till it's done on a Saturday would work best for me. Any good shops up for the job? I'm hoping for no chipping or flaking down the road, but things happen I suppose..Please let me know, they're already starting to rust only 5 months in...

Thanks!

not really something you can 'knock out in a morning'... at least properly. but its really easy to do on your own.

I used "por-20" high temp paint to do my rotor hats. Some high temp paints need to be baked in (por-20 calls for 300 degrees). you'll need at least two coats as well. easy work to do in your garage. Pull the wheels, wire brush with drill or dremel (wear a mask), clean properly, same goes for calipers. typically you'll need 24 hours between coats.

Yea, thought about them, but they proposed keeping the car a couple of days, which I really can't afford to do. I'll give em a ring though...they did other work for me, and it was pretty good..

because thats what it takes to do it properly. the fastest way to get this done is to do it yourself over a day or two... u just need time between application, and the proper materials.
