How hard is it to paint the calipers? What is the best paint to use? How long will it take to paint them? Thanks guys!!!!

 

I painted mine myself, also liek 3 of my friend's calipers. It's really easy. If you live in So Cal, i'll paint them for you if you'd like. If not, just email or PM, or AIM=grauler02, and i'll tell you how to do it , step by step.

Any chance of letting the rest of us know how to paint the calipers. Thanks.

 

Sry, i haven't told you yet, i've been busy, at the SUPER CLUB LEXUS meet (at fontana) i'm going tomorrow as well (lotta fun!) and when i get home i can post directs... i'd take pictures, except mine are already painted. Would anyone from so Cal who wants to paint there calipers, be interested in having me paint them for you, step by step w/ pics?

 

I am waiting for the paint to come in and I was wondering how long it takes to paint all the calipers on the average? Do I have to have the car on jacks at every corner or can I do one caliper at a time?

 

It depends on how many coats you do.

Quck TIP: Before spraying, use a standard brake cleaner (in spray bottle) to clean of brakes (after taken off rim/tire).

You can do it individually, or if you have truckstands you can lift up one side of the car at a time, first left then right. Anyway is fine really...just give it time to dry.
