With brake caliper paint, you can provide your calipers with a nice colour. In general, the bright colours are very popular, especially red brake caliper paint is very popular. But there are many more colours available such as silver, bright yellow caliper paint, orange, green, blue caliper paint, red, black, purple and gold. However, did you know that caliper paint has more functions than just providing your brakes with a nice colour? The paint also protects the surface against chemicals, corrosion, dirt and rust.
You can choose to have your calipers painted or sprayed at a specialist. However, this is often quite expensive. It is way cheaper to do it yourself. You can buy a brake caliper spray paint kit for less than £ 25.
Painting brake calipers
Before you can start painting brake calipers, you must first thoroughly clean the brakes. You can do this with a good brake cleaner. For painting brake calipers it is not necessary to disassemble the calipers. In many cases painting is possible if you only remove the wheels. However, for the best result, disassembling the brake calipers is recommended. Before painting brake calipers, you will need some supplies. Do you order a brake caliper paint kit from Foliatec of Raid HP? Then all the supplies will be present in the kit. For painting brake calipers you will need the following requirements;
- Brake cleaner
- Gloves
- Wire brush
- Small paint brush
- Spatula

You will also receive an instruction manual with the brake caliper paint kit. If you have properly degreased the calipers, you can easily follow the instructions.

So, keep in mind that you can?t drive the car for a little while after painting brake calipers.
