    Re: Brake caliper paint

    A long time ago I paint my calipers on my MINI and used Dupli-Color IIRC and it came out great.

    I thought I used a brush on but it was ceramic like that.

    G2 caliper kit. Better look and more durable than the VHT spray can paint.

    I've always used the non-spray Dupli-Color caliper kits that come with the brush and cleaner etc (though I always use a better brush)...

    Re: Brake caliper paint

    G2 kits are the std if you brush on. Tip: get a good brush from Lowe’s, the brush that comes with the kit sucks… Duplicolor works good for a spray. Another tip is absolutely make sure that the caliper is devoid of grease or silicones before you paint. I do a few washes with acetone before I start, on the entire caliper. I’ve done 5-6 sets over the years, I prefer a brush on.

    Yes, I was very surprised by how good this was. I helped my brother with his Mustang this weekend and the paint match was very good for a difficult color. (Windveil Blue)

    Color is hard to see in pictures.

    Re: Brake caliper paint

    Stay away from VHT. It's terrible!
    Chips super easy. The "clear" is actually yellow & made the caliper stickers dull. And worst, it's so soft, got a little brake clean on it and wiped the paint off.
