Painted calipers

[Wilson]

What do you use for paint and how long dose it last.

I've asked a few I'd like to hear from the off-roaders is it worth it or would they just look bad in a few years?

I'd like to see pictures and miles you have on them.

I have painted my mustang and raptor with the high temp spraypaint you find in any hardware store (I had red and Yellow). Works great. Have had for years with no issue. Just make sure to clean calipers from any dirt/ oil first.

Thanks that's two nice to know yellow didn't discolor from heat.

I used the red caliper paint kit from duplicolor. They make a blue as well. comes with a small can of brush on high-temp paint and a can of cleaner. I would suggest a small sponge brush vs the bristle brush that comes with the kit though. Has lasted pretty well through the WI winters. have to recoat probly every two years...

Powdercoat is the way to go for strength and wear, but I have used G2 brush on Caliper paint and had great luck! it looks like it is wet instead of sprayed.

Used duplicolor yellow on my 2010 camaro (purchased sept 09 and painted calipers shortly after). Traded it in for the raptor in Jan 2013 and looked flawless. Did remov calipers to paint them properly.

I used the red plastikote caliper spray paint. Removed them from vehicle, cleaned them up really good and painted them. That was almost two years ago and still look pretty good even with the Michigan salt.

I used duplicolor red caliper paint kit on my last truck and it lasted. Had to touch up a bit after 2 years. Also did my father's caddy CTS that had a V body kit on it so I painted the calipers and it help up great to his daily driving.

Because I do drive the Raptor "like a truck", I can't see spending the extra money for powder coat or G2. I plan to use Duplicolor ceramic caliper paint. If it last 2-3 years, great! If not, I will just touch it up.

I plan to paint mine black and I picked up some OD military green "SVT" high temp decals for them. It should look good with my subdued American flag decals behind the side vent "SVT"s.

Anyone have any pics of this mod with stock or aftermarket wheels? Curious to see how noticeable it would be.
