Hey folks. I’m bored and thinking of painting calipers. Either red or black. I was gonna put those covers but for $200 there is no way I’m doing that. Unless I mess up paint job. [emoji1787].
Anyways, I don’t want to completely remove it. Just take it off the rotor. Is there any special tool that I’ll need to rent ? And is there enough slack in the lines to move it aside to paint or create a cardboard paint booth? As much as I’d love red flake in my paint I’ll have to pass for now....
I’ll have to compress the piston right? And if so, could I do one side at a time ? Front and back? Or will there be too much fluid in reservoir? I am pretty handy but brakes scare the crap out of me and obviously they’re important lol. So naturally I get more anxious messin around with stuff like this.
Thanks folks!
