Just getting my calipers painted and decalled. Very convenient location in Markham. If anyone is interested PM me for his phone number, I am happy to recommend his work.

Nicely done. Price?

Pics with entire car pls?

He charges $90 cash and includes grinding/prep, paint, clearcoat and decal. Very nice job and it can last a few years on new calipers. If you wait till after winter there will likely be oxidation on the calipers so the job will need to be redone more often.

I will post a whole car pic next week after installing the 5 Axis body kit!!

nice!

Cool. Do you know what paint was used?

Usually is a heat resistant paint it's pretty easy to do. just gotta tape off the back and then put a garbage bag around the disk to keep everything clean.... i would go with engine paint is what it's called i think....

Here's the details for anyone who loves DIY.

Dupli-Color DE1645 ceramic ruby red engine paint (12oz.) x1 = $11
FR-S brake caliper decal (sticker) x4 =$7

Total = $(11+7) + your own time.

Hope it helps. Enjoy.

i was thinking about trying myself.

so is dupli-color the best paint to get for this? and can i brush it on so i dont have to remove the calipers?

He didn't remove the pads/caliper to paint/prep?

There was more to it. I think he actually used caliper paint, AND he clearcoated as well. He also painted the "hub" of the rotor , for lack of a better word, in black.

For $9 dollars more and try this.

Dupli-Color BCP400 red brake caliper kit = $19.

• Ceramic resins resist heat up to 500 degrees
• Fast drying durable finish
• Dry to touch in 30 minutes/ can be handled in 1 hour
• Resistant to chipping, chemicals, and brake dust

It contains ceramic coating with high heat resistant.

Enjoy and have fun for those who like DIY. Otherwise... get the cash ready and pay for someone to do it. Thank you.

Best bang for your buck cosmetic mod IMHO

Calipers too small.

Red just highlights our tiny 2-piston calipers (1 in the back?).
