Painting calipers?
I have a 91 Turbo. It came with Black calipers. They are starting to peel and flake. What is the best way to paint? I thought of painting red for fun. Or should I stay with original color.

Hello,
Well, you can send them to a shop to do the job for you or you cand do it yourself.
It is better to remove the calipers from the car for better results.If they are painted several times you have to remove all the coats with paint reomover or to glass bead them.You MUST use a brake caliper color to paint them and NOT a normal color.Also you have to mask the calipers you must NOT paint them!
