Painting Brake Calipers
#23
Sooner you get those pictures and reports up, the better. I've been wanting to do this job on my Monte for a long time, and this might be my chance.

My landlord would love this.
Got my replacement calipers from Morad, and my G2 kit today. The kit looks like a tiny amount of paint, but it goes a looooong way.
The calipers look pretty good. Seems the General doesn't take much pride in forging calipers, they are really rough, but the paint does an ok job of filling the inconsistencies.

I think you should be fine doing it with the calipers on the car. That is what the directions are written for. It might be harder to get them good and clean while they are still in place, particularly where the back side of the pad is exposed, i can see that causing some trouble, as it is tight against the caliper.

Did you buy a caliper rebuild kit for those used calipers??
Since they are off the car you might as well make them like brand new
I have a whole set sitting in a box, I'm thinking of sending them off to be rebuilt and powdercoated one day
