Brake Caliper Paint

[21MPS]

Hello fellow MPS owners.....

I am looking for lumo/ fluro orange break caliper paint.... and a good alloy repairer (ahem... ahemmm... cough cough... one should not drive first thing in the morning - there are a lot of rogue curbs about at 4am)

Anyone know anyone...? Or where to get paint? I will probably be looking to paint my wheels too at some stage but I think I'll need to save up for that one............................

Thanks!

These guys make a good product:

But they don't seem to do orange.

These guys do custom:

...and here is your orange

Who's to say she's not a chemist wanting to break caliper paint into some base compound. The nerve

[21MPS]

Oh dear.............. I swear I am not one of those people!

if you want a REALLY impressive finish - try this stuff.

it's a two part paint system, got to put a base down, and the metalcast paint over the top - takes a bit longer but it looks amazing IMO. I did my Stagea calipers in candy red, but they have ORANGE too.

In orange:




can also use it for other stuff - i did my engine cover (it's not for everyone - pretty sure guy who bought it off me used it as a frisbee - but the owner prior to me was a Melbourne Storm fanatic and had painted it yellow and purple with a hand brush so as far as i'm concerned it was an improvement! also did carbon fiber vinyl inlays and wrapped strut brace)

Gawd dayum... um do they do like a hot orange? Or is like normal plain bland orange?

Was thinking of Duplicolor myself for my brake calipers (when I get the RX8 wheels done)

I think if you wanted a really strong almost fluro orange like on lambos you need to use a flat colour with a white undercoat. Although you can control the brightness of the metalcast paint by the number of coats you do.

[Yeldarb]

That's some good stuff Smokey!!

[21MPS]

I think I am going to need to get a custom paint mixed up.... but the white undercoat is such a good idea! I hadn't thought of that!

I've got orange not a fluro orange but a nice light orange. I went el cheapo. Bunnings!, Turned out great had it onfor 2 years and no issues. But might paint them black as looking at painting wheels orange. Good luck

Do you have a picture of your orange calipers? What kind of paint from bunnings?

This is what they are now actually fading could do with a respray. Pics not best but get the idea. It was just white knight stuff. $8 a can.



But wheels are now this colour so will change to black!

[Yeldarb]

Holy bejesus Ken, is it a red or blood orange?

[KFuNk]

Going for a Blood Orange but Paint is actually a Fluro Red.

[21MPS]

That is pretty cool!!!! I must get onto it lol!
