Caliper Paint

[jtoscano19]

Now that I have the wheels off to do the plasti dip, I want to do the calipers red. What would be the best paint to use for them?

Ok heres my experience i sanded mine down and cleaned real good i used the spray on cal paint that lasted about 2 weeks started to chip, then i cleaned it all off and then used the brush on cal paint kit that lasted like 4 months now its chipping bad. So im going to go with the cal covers just my 2 exp maybe some had better luck

I just use regular body paint.It holds up better than the so called caliper paints IMO.My truck is 8 years old and just painted them once a few years ago.Just clear over them like you would do on the body.That will seal them and make them last a long time.

Now he tells me lol but those things get screaming hot thats why i did not use the body paint you talking about duplicolor body paint those covers are like 200 rather paint again with something that holds up

Dupli-Color Caliper Paint Kit (BCP400) is very convenient. Did mine in Red in '10 and still looks pretty good considering.

Bummer. Mine is chipped a little but i live on miles of dirt so i just blame that lol.
Gonna try Eastwood High Temp Engine Paint though and see how it goes.

I'd like to do this to mine sometime. I was looking at eastwood's also.

Mine are powder coated. But, I have known a few people that have use the Duplicolor kit and all said good things about it.

I used a kit that was at my local shop. Has done pretty good, been on there for 6 years.

I used Duplicolor caliper paint on my Yukon, but will order the covers in red for my Ram.

I bought the duplicolor kit forever ago and have still put it on.... but after reading that it chips off I dunno if I wanna spend the time to do it for it to chip off.... the covers might be worth it after all
