cyriusmuscle Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thinking about painting my calipers but don't know if i want to paint them blue to match the truck or red. I've seen the red on the other threads and it looks good but wanted to know if anyone has pics of blue calipers. Thoughts, suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRuckus Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 we painted mine with a high temp spray paint and clear coat from the auto parts store. What did you use to clean or prep the calipers before you sprayed 'em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zanis520 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 id say either one, color matching looks awsome, but you can never go wrong with red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah just have to wrap what you dont want painted in a plastic bag or something. I didn't look at what year your truck is but if it has drums in the back you can just take those off and paint them real quick nd I guess you could do the camme with calipers but I didn't want to deal with bleeding the breaks.
