Painting Calipers..?
 
Hey all...

Just wanting to paint my stock calipers gold...

Does anyone have any information on how to do it. I was thinking of doing it with a brush due to the fact i want to make the subaru logo black after woulds???

Anyone know where to pick up some gold and black paint in a tin worth using on calipers???

Cheers

Dont worry bbout taping the rest of the brakes... spray the whole lot gold... the brake wear will clear the paint off the discs no wozzas.

once you have painted the calipers and it is dry. Spray some paint on a bit of hardish sponge and then press this lightly over the subaru letters. This is what i did and works great. I took my calipers of to paint them since i wanted to do a brake fluid flush anyway.

Hi Simmo7,

Do you want me to email it to you??
