Default One more question

"Sure do, use hi temp paint and paint them."



Thanks for the reply, what exactly did you cover? Did you have to cover the rotors or does the paint burn off as you drive? also, how long did this take you and what kind/brand did you use or can you use caliper paint? Your wheels look great by the way.

hi temp paint did them when we did brake jobs. So the rotors are off.

You can paint rotors and calipers with a paint that is resistant to heat. I recommend Folia-Tec. Its a brush on paint that does not require you to mask area unline the spray paints. Good luck.
