C5Z Brake Caliper Touch Up
Posted this in C5 Tech with little feedback, the General section has more visitors so I'll post here as well.
I'm going to have my wheels off my car sometime in the next 2 weeks to polish the inside of the barrels. Since ill have the wheels off i'd like to also touch up my brake calipers since the do have some paint coming off,chips,stains etc. What's the best route to getting this done. I'd like the result to be as close to OEM as possible with lasting results. So far i've looked at the G2 Caliper Paint Kit- RED, looks pretty good... Has anyone tried this?
Thanks in advance.

Some go with the Duplicolor Caliper Paint kit - I went with Folia Tec caliper paint - its a two stage epoxy paint that holds up very well.

VHT caliper paint comes in spray or brush on, applys easy and fast. Looked good after we did my buddy old vette, I think i used regular spray paint on mine with clear coat and while it looks good, the VHT spray was way faster to put on with just as good results.
If you want the factory finish, tear apart your calipers and powder coat them =)
good luck
