you can see pics of my painted oem calipers in my brake ducting thread here

the paint used is from Dali Racing at $39 and has not flaked or come off over 2 years later despite my NSX being abused on the racetrack to the extent that I have measured rotor temps of 175deg C (350F) and blistered the paint on my wheels

How did you paint the letters?

Sprayed 900deg paint into a container and painted it on with a brush, used many coats.

Thanks. Do you have any pictures with the wheel back on?

I've done mine for the cars that I own; all are painted glossy black. It was very easy to do. I remove the wheel, put a plastic garbage bag all around the caliper to cover the parts I dont want painted, and then spray them with a few coats of caliper paint. Worked great, they look good, and it took no time.

I did the same, but I took off the calipers, removed the pads and clips and reinstalled. Then I used a plastic bag to cover the rotor, and masked everything else. This way you don't get paint on the rotor, and the pads and moving parts of the brakes. It may not matter, but I thought this would give a little cleaner results. Also, I used about 5 coats of high temp gloss black from AutoZonc. :smile:

I think the stock calipers are something to HIDE. If you want to paint them, I suggest them black.

Thanks! I was debating painting mine and decided that black with white letters was the way to go. I look forward to seeing yours with the wheel on. I have the paint and will do it this weekend if I like what I see.
