Painted Calipers and Rotor Hats

[CEE DOG]

I'm a little short on words due to time. That probably won't bother most people a bit

Will post some details of the adventure in a later reply maybe.

SOME OF THE TOOLS

WHEELS OFF! SKY IS IN THE SKY

INSIDE OF TIRES WASHED WITH ARO AND TIRE SCRUB BRUSH
INSIDE OF RIMS WASHED WITH SONAX WHEEL CLEANER USING E-Z BRUSH AND SWISSVAX WHEEL BRUSH FOR THE INDENTIONS AND LUG AREAS.

SKYBABY WRAPPED FROM THE IMPURITIES HEADED HER WAY

LABELED WHEELS

MOVED WHEELS TO GARAGE

ROTORS AND CALIPERS BEFORE

 

[CEE DOG]

Running out of time so no pics taken but I sanded and ground a lot of rust off. Then I used 3 cans of Brake Cleaner (Thanks for the tip on getting extra Adam!)

Rotors painted with 3 coats of Black Grill Spray Paint (withstands 1200 deg F.)

Calipers painted with 3 coats of "G2" (2 part) epoxy (900 deg. F)
Plastic being removed

3rd coat is on the calipers and plastic is off the car

Its a HOVERCRAFT!

Painted but not touched up at all yet.

All 4 Wheels and tires sealed with Ultima TTG

1/2 way through a midnight Ultima Waterless wash bath to remove all the condensation mixed with the dust that had been on there before hand

After removing most of the little boo boos with laquer thinner and a piece of wire. Still need to do a touch up here or there.

A few weeks later:
I didn't get to wash my beauty this weekend but I snapped a few more picks anyway.

Sweet Corey she looks great!!!! I've been wanting to paint my calipers red on my truck but I'm being lazy haha

 

[Old Tiger]

Great job buddy. Fortunately for me, the XLR calipers are painted at the factory. Really turned out awesome!

 

[GaDetailDoc]

Looks great...Wow, a lot of work!...Ever thought about having calipers powder coated?...I know someone who did and they just looked amazing much like yours.

Very nice Corey!

 

[Bobby B.]

Awesome job! The G2 Brake Caliper Paint is a really good product. It's very durable and does not fade like most of the other brands out there.
