painted calipers and drums

Just wanted to post a few pictures of my latest project. Took a few hours....

wire brushed the rust off
cleaned drums and calipers with degreaser
painted gloss black finish

I need to replace my rotors soon anyways so I didn't work on the rust at all....

I like the look of the gloss, you need to decide what looks best on your car. Gloss may not work with everyone!

Re: painted calipers and drums

any reason you didn't just take them off the car to paint them?

I probably should have. Didn't know what kind of job that would entail.

well, from where you had it, all you had to do was pull...

the part you painted there, comes off with a little shaking, as well as having the ebrake off.

oh well, came out looking good!

Re: painted calipers and drums

i think its easier leaving it on. then you can spray in the air and turn them as you spray. and let it dry a bit before putting wheel back on. that way you dont have to put them down anywhere with wet paint, it stays up.
