caliper paint
Im' going to paint my calipers and have the paint already but I will be bleeding my brakes and replacing them all the way around in two months or so. will brake fluid eat the paint away or can I go ahead and paint them now?
I would wait, I always thought you should not get brake fluid on paint........will take it down to the metal

I had the calipers off the car when I painted mine, and when the dealer put them back on, they bled the brakes. No damage was done at all - I used epoxy caliper paint. But, if you want to be sure, just wait until the brakes are bled.

thanks I guess I can wait. I'm just so anxious. but I might do it my brothers girlfriend just taught me her little trick that she does on all the porsches and the calipers don't see fluid. she puts a vacuum line on the bleeder right into a two liter bottle
