Brake Drum/Caliper Paint?
 

Does anyone know of a good paint that I could use on my rear brake drums and front calipers? I want to paint them so that they look nice and wondered if anyone used a particular paint manufacturer with success. I could probably go with Duplicolor brand engine enamel stuff, but just wanted to inquire some more...

Thanks!

Dupli-color High Temp

they have a metal-cast paint too that will make em look like anodized Al...but I dont know if its high temp

edit* here the link to Dupli-Color so you can get a look at their stuff - www.dupli-color.com

Yeah, thanks. I looked at the Duplicolor Metal Cast stuff online. It seems cool, I just wonder if it's gonna last.

I saw this brake caliper/drum paint imported from Germany at: http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/, but they want $40 for it. I know that's stuff is gonna last and stay nice and shiny, but I don't want to spend that much. So, I may try the Duplicolor, unless somebody has another suggestion???

I just used a high temp ceramic paint from autozone.....it's held for over 3 years and no chipping.

there is such a thing as brake caliper paint. just search it up on google you should be able to find it.

Yes - and i just did mine last week - painted red to match my car.

I used 8 coats of Plasti-Kote ENGINE ENAMEL - it is designed to resist up to 500 Farenheight

don't paint your drums....:no: :no: :no:

rear disc conversion first!

Why not? i did mine and they look nice

brake drums just look bad, IMO. I love walking past a civic and seeing all 4 disc with painted calipers. seeing the rear with drums...yucky.

Whats even worse is the APC disc brake simulators! Oh yeah, nobody can tell!

because drums aren't something you WANT to draw attention too..

Oh ya and it looks GAY GAY GAY....

If your going to paint them or already did... I hope it was black.

They are red, and they look nice - i sanded em b/f i painted em, so they are not all choppy and ugly lookin.

but thanks for your opinion :)
