Brake Caliper Refresh

[Meric]

I prefer Yellow on darker colours... Blue & Silver still looks good tho .

I went with an almost Laguna seca blue on mine. Loved it just a tad bit more difficult to clean because of the lighter color. They are due for a refresh. Possible winter project. I removed mine and sprayed the calipers as well as the brackets that hold them to the rotor. Will prob do the same when I do a respray...

I need to grease my front pins and pads cuz they are noisy and have been since I painted um.

It sounded almost like they weren't tightly in the holders or something.... Not convinced its a grease thing

whats happening is the paint build up on the guides is making the pad stick in place a little, which is why it clicks when you hit the brakes and force them to move.

Mine are Black.

Couldn't locate the right paint today. I found 500* Engine paint, but looking for the high heat stuff, I think it says up to 900* or maybe 1200*... Either way, Brakleen was 2 for $8, so I picked that up!

^ I wouldn't use that stuff, it won't ever truly set. The calipers will never get hot enough (and if they do you have bigger problems than paint setting)

Yeah i tried engine enamel and it never looked quite right. Do yourself a favor and get this kit. It's awesome! I've done 3 sets so far and have no complaints. Came out perfectly every time. http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/acces...tail.jsp?ID=41

Right now after installing the BMW Performance BBKs on my ZHP, I'm leaning on Phoenix Yellow for my brake calipers on both the ZHP (finishing the rear set) and the ///M.....
