Is there anyone local that won't charge up the A__ for taking these off and painting them for me?

 

no clue but i wanna do it too

 

If you have a jack and tools i'll do it. You don't have to take the whole caliper off...

 

haha werd? but i am skeptical without roughing them up some that the paint will even last if you just spray it on.

 

They Have Caliper Paint Kits At Schucks. Thats What I Used.. It Comes With Everything Caliper Cleaner.. A Paint Brush.. The Paint. If You Do Everything And Have A Steady Hand You Can Do A Pretty Good Job Painting It On Your Own.. The Plus Thing Is It Dries In A Couple Of Minutes So Your Car Doesnt Have To Sit For A Long Time. Im Throwing Another Coat On My Calipers Tonite Before I Head Up To Canada For Dtp.. Its All About The Diy Man.. Simple Stuff

 

Oh yah.. its SIMPLE.. I decided to test the stuff out on my friends 2004 330CI and it came out pretty darn good with like 3 coats..

 

Quit Typing Like This It Doesn't Make Any Sense

ill be picking up one of these kits

 

Hmmn yeah designer I may be but steady hand with paint is another thing. I might have to get someones expertise is doing this one. I have always sucked at painting anything but a house you don't have to have a steady hand.

 

Sorry but I couldn't resist. That is too damn funny! I second SupermanGS!

Don't mean to jack your northwest thread but...............

In regards to the calipers. Regardless of one's painting / artistic skill level you have to remember that you are painting a part that is never seen in it's entirety (unless you run 3 spoke wheels). It should be painted to either contrast or compliment the wheels which should be the highlight of the car. I've never stared at a set of calipers and wondered if there were any imperfections. Just food for thought.

 

True but I rather not take it into the dealer and have them tell me I messed with soemthing etc.. Yes its a long shot to be blamed on account of that but dealers will find something.but if I am going to do it why not do it right rather than get paint everywhere. yes true not much will be seen but I got some rims on order that would make it worth while..

D.

 

I believe the paint is brushed on vs. sprayed on so it's definitely easier. Tire Rack has them for $38. See below:
