Hey guys,


I have painted my brake calipers with BLACK HIGH TEMP PAINT and I have also applied HIGH TEMP WHITE DECALS. I have now eliminated the nasty corrosion which BMW brake calipers and rotors generate.

I purchased HIGH TEMP BRAKE CALIPER PAINT from VHT and the decals are from Xenonmods.com. By the way, RUDY, the calipers have been painted for 4 months and been through a car wash weekly. They still look like the day I painted them.

Cool, thanks for the info. The car wash I use does a great job on the car with minimal damage to the finish but they use a wheel cleaner that does a number on the calipers. I wonder if your paint would hold up?
