Rep Power: 0 You are not painting your brake pads man!
You cannot paint brake pads, obviously it would peel off the first time you brake...you are painting your calipers, and just to answer a possible future question, when painting your calipers, dont worry about getting paint on your discs or anyplace else, its ok as long as it doesnt go on your car, so do it somewhere its not too windy, in a garage is ideal...
read directions and good luck,,,what color u doing?

u could paint the pads if u would like, it wont last long, if u have RIMS, WAIT TIL THE PAINT IS DRY, really dry, if not ur going to get paint splatter on ur rims
im going to ask a noob question so just dont flame :S. when you take your capliers off to paint them
you have to bleed your brakes and all that other stuff right???[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] or you can just put your capliers back on.

Rep Power: 0 you dun remove the caliper form the actual brake system.. just 'pull' it away from the actual rotor, cover up everything else around it in the wheel well, and spray the caliper itself.

Rep Power: 0 dang, is it really necessary to remove the caliper from the rotor? cant I just put some protection over the rotor and everywhere and just spray like that? and I dont know if I'm gonna wanna do the rear drums yet.... I guess I can always wait for my friends to help me on Sunday when we do the camber install....

When I painted my 6th gen's calipers I used some caliper lacquer I got off a Porsche site. That wasn't in a spray can, it came with a brush and you brushed it on. That was good stuf, really high gloss.

Rep Power: 298 hi guys,
I will use "dupli-color engine enamel 500 F degree resistant" will it be heat resisdant enough?
other things, is there any place on the caliper that definitely no paint should flow in? because it is not easy to cover the surrounding of the caliper, there are a lot of detail and small area on the caliper itself...
thanks!
