Painting Brake Calipers
I know I have it in my sig that I have painted calipers... but I did that the morning that I went to actually do it (in anticipation), but something came up (don't remember exactly what), and I didn't get around to it. Well now I am on Christmas break, and have time
Also my dad is going to be in the hospital for a hip replacement (due to getting T-boned by a lifted Avalanche with a grill guard), so I will be able to use his Yukon while the calipers dry.
I have never done anything like this, any tips? Do I need to take off my calipers or just wheels? The kit I have comes with a cleaner for the caliper, as well as paint that uses a brush (not spray can). Its a whole brake caliper paint kit that I bought at advanced auto for like 20 bucks.
