[TR] [6pack] Painting brake calipers?

[Bob Danielson]

Stan,
The POR-15 kit includes a cleaner and a prep solution. They did a great job
of getting the calipers ready for paint.

What are people doing to prep the calipers for painting ?. Is it possible to
media blast them without having to take them apart to get all of the blast
media out ?

 Hi Joe,

I just used some Dupli-color hi-temp paint and painted mine red.? The paint
has stood up quite nicely though there is always brake dust to dull the
look.?
You can see the before and after pictures at the triumphowners web site
listed below.? The prep work took most of the time.? The paint work was
pretty simple.? Sorry, I lost the close-up pics of the calipers on the car
with my KN wheels when my hard drive bit the dust.
