Painting the brakes
November 02, 2020, 07:10:02 PM
A few weeks back I exchanged all my calipers at Carjoy. Now on to the next step to get everything back together again.

I want to sandblast the cradles and paint them black, so the whole caliper assembly looks the same in matt black.

Can I also sandblast the wedges?

Any recommendations on which caliper paint to use? I would like to do it myself, so no powder coating. I had a bit of a search on the web and found some spray can as per below. And then there are also two component products.

I've used VHT paint successfully.  You'll probably need a couple of coats.  Personally I wouldn't bother with the wedges.  They are a precision fit and any paint you apply will rub off when you fit them.
