Painting calipers and discs

[BurburyConrod]

Would this be unsafe to do so as I would like to paint mine white?

[Aragorn]

u cant paint the disks unless you simply mean the hub part of it

as for the calipers its safe as long as u dont get paint on the sliders or the piston seals

[LiD0N]

u will need to use high temperature paint ..

Most good motor factors will do a kit for painting calipers/drums.

You could use heat resistant paint but i have read on migweb many a time that a couple of coats of hammerite does the job just as well. The trick is to get the caliper as clean as possible before you apply the paint. I still recomend heat pait like Jim said.

hammerite works just as well with 2 coats that calliper paint is like 15 quid n hammerite is a fiver.use a wire brush to get shit off then sand it.

VHT looks good, nice satin silver, but not tacky like aluminium silver

i would'nt paint them white either they will be filthy after a day and look shite :roll:

White=no
Hammerite=yes

you love hammerite Novax, you are always mentioned when engine block painting comes up on mig :)

if you use heat resistant paint on engine blocks it can hinder heat dissipation ( or radiation or whatever the hell its called when you loose heat lol ) putting extra strain on your cooling system.

after a while the hammerite cures nicely and the smell soon goes :)

Sorry if thats not what you where on about :D
