Wash the wheel and caliper area with some type
of wheel/caliper cleaner (i.e. Eagle One).
After removing the wheel, you will need a
small wire brush, a little elbow grease and
some type of brake cleaner (i.e. CRC Brake
Clean). Remove as much dirt and rust as
possible to save you future peeling and
chipping. |
Mask off all areas before painting (brake
lines, pads, wheel well, rotor etc). The
greater the effort spent on masking the areas
the greater the results and not to mention
little to no overspary. |
Once the calipers are removed you may want to
hang them from a coat hanger so not to damage
the brake lines. Use a heat resident paint and
apply 2-3 coats, allowing at least 30 minutes
drying time in between coats. |
Remove all masking and rebuild the the
calipers add the wheel and move on to the next
one. Just a note. This might be a good time to
invest in some performance brake pads (i.e.
Mintex). With the addition of these pads you
increase braking performance and more
importantly very little to no brake dust
compared to the stock pads. |
