Painting Stock Brake Calipers 2012 MCC
Hey Folks,
I am interested in painting my brake calipers to make them look sick as well as stop the rusting. As you can tell they are not looking so hot and I would love to more spice to my mini! So I would love your guy's input on what color I should do. I am thinking red, a satin black or maybe try to match the pepper white. I am also going to put decals on them saying mini. Lastly, I am also going to do the rotors in black ( the rusted parts that is) I have been thinking this may be a waste of time and that I should just wait till I have to replace the rotors and pads.
P.s any advice on painting the grill black/ most of the Chrome on the car to satin black?
Thanks, Hayden

I was hoping there would be some conversation around the comment about painting the rotors. A lot of people paint the calipers but I have never seen the rotors painted. I would think that it would be devastating to the functioning of the brakes, potentially destroy the braking system and at its best be scraped off after the first few stops. That said, I would like to hear the opinions of those with more technical knowledge then myself.

On the calipers I have used both types of spray can stuff you can buy at the local autoparts store, that which must be "baked" and then the stuff that you just spray on. Have also used the Rustoleum brush stuff. All work and IMO of the three the Rustoleum is the best. On rotors, I will mask off the pad surface and spray both the hub and the top with the high temp spray on stuff I noted above. It keeps the rotors from showing rust longer. See below
