Painting brake caliper

[VWRand]

So if I want to do one caliper one day and the other caliper a day later?

They need to be done at the same time unless you can somehow divide both components in half equally.

Yep Duplicolor silver steel wheel paint. Has some metallic in it. I'm in a salt zone so it gets done at tire rotations mostly and at every brake job.

I would opt for a 2k caliper paint or cerakote if you have access to a sand blaster AND proper media.

For me there is limit to how much I will spend to paint a caliper. And time.

And will probably do one at a time when I change brake pads. So that probably precludes any epoxy based caliper paint. Maybe the can of POR caliper paint would be best after dunking it in EvapoRust overnight.

I used a caliper paint I bought at our local farm supply store for my 2109 Rogue. I painted them red. It’s not terrible looking at all and has held up for a year now, though I don’t drive the car much.
