Performance Brakes & Painted Calipers

[daveray9]

Looks awesome, I'm doing the same but red. I actually bought used calipers so I can paint them off the truck, but then have to bleed them all out when I swap them... not sure which job is worse.

Where did you get the rotors, I want them!!

Never did a bleed job. GOOD LUCK!! I got these from @Hemi450hp (Matt) at MoesPerformance.com. I went with EBC performance rotors (drilled/slotted). These and the greenstuff shoes... I swear I am stopping on dimes. Love it.

How's your paint holding up on the calipers? What did you use? Getting the same setup for Xmas with the yellow pads. Debating whether I want to POR-15 the calipers that are on there or grab some new ones and do it. Not too stoked on bleeding brake lines though.

can you please give an idea of the cost of your brake job thanks

About $760 for the EBC kit with dimpled/slotted rotors and yellow pads. Green pads are slightly cheaper.

Get a mityvac self bleeder kit. It’s so easy to do solo with one. I have the MV8000.

Yeah, probably need to flush the brake fluid anyway.

It's holding quite well, though the truck needs a bath. Dunno about the POR-15 on them, but cosmetically you can do what I did and it looks awesome. Off Amazon, I went with

Yeah I went green because that is what Matt (@Hemi450hp) has at Moes Performance. The stopping power is so much improved.

Thanks for the info. I may just go with POR-15 since I've got a bunch of it left.... Now the trick is to find it lol

"Now the trick is to find it lol" I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that puts stuff away in a certain place so I can find it later----and then when I look for it, I can't find it!!!!!!
