Has anyone painted their brake calipers orange? If so, was it sprayed, or brushed on? And did you remove them from the car 1st? Do I need to remove them from the car 1st? Anyone have any pics? (sorry for all the newbie questions )

 

Brushed on. I used to have a how to posted, but I think the picture hosting server is down. I used the (k2/g2?) kit from Tire Rack

 

Brushed mine on too without removing them. Mask off your rotors pretty well. Caliper paint on rotors seems like a bad thing. G2 kit from Tire Rack is great.

 

Were either of your orange? I have a Hot Orange Cabrio & wonder how well (or not) it matches?

 

I used the G2 kit from the Tire Rack too. But mine are black...

 

OK how does one get all of the rust and crap off of the center thing????????????

An SOS pad does a pretty good job... but if you've got a dremel handy.. pick up some wire brush bits and it make's quick work of all that rust 'n crap..

 

I just ordered the new Orange Brake Caliper Paintsystem Set from G2 today

Once the weather gets colder I'll pull the wheels off for a good cleaning & paint the calipers as well. I completely dig that S on your calipers Partsman, but I dunno that it'd look good w/ the orange?

 

Yes, See post #20 by OctaneGuy

Brushed on. Mixed Red and Yellow paints. Follow the instructions.

 

Yep - It's orange! It's actually a little more like the reflector than Hot Orange.
