Brake caliper painting

Used2be · 03-03-2015, 04:12 PM

Painted the front caliper sakhir orange to match the side grill, and now that I see it on the car I think I'll try to tint the orange reflector with a transparent layer of the sakhir to bring it in too. I'd like to keep the reflective quality of it functional if I can. There's nothing that will make the rear caliper look good, so I just used the brush on ceramic matte black paint for that to hide it as best I could.

I just saw your post, that looks very good! For now I'll live with the blacked out, less visible solution, but would like to use your cover in the future I'm sure. Care to share a source for the cover? Does it attach securely?
