You can find the decals on ebay, G2 makes a great brush on kit, google them. Duplicolor makes a spray on ceramic. Ive done 3 sets, brush on is easiest.
Kits on amazon. I have the cheap silver brakes, just wanted them to go away, so 2 coats of rustolem bbq black paint took care of that. |

Brush on is the best. Take your time, get everywhere and it looks like factory.

Hi, I am new in the foro and I would like help in finding the best spray paint for caliper even tho I know G2 is suppose to be the best using a brush but I rather use spray paint. Would you use dupli, vht or what else is out there?

I also just had a quick question. This is the first time I am going to be painting my brake calipers, and was trying to decide if I should try it myself or have a body shop/performance shop do it.
I requested pricing from my Chevy dealer since it is in there for something else right now, and I was wondering what a "fair" price for something like this would be from a dealer before they get back to me. Any info would be helpful! |

Dealers will semi rape you with a labor charge of an hour per wheel. See whatntheir labor rate is X 4...
Seriously, g2 is great special paint, it self levels and looks like a pro job, no brush strokes If you must spray duplicolor ceramic works well, 2 coats.... |
