So, this mod has been on my radar as it's mostly a DIY project, and I have experience in rattle can painting. What I'm wondering is:
If you did this, did you finish up with clear coat?
Did you "cure" the paint by baking in the oven?
If I do this, it would be clean the calipers (and mounting bracket, and rotor hat) with a wire wheel, wire brush. Sand as smooth as possible, clean well and then High Temp primer, High Temp caliper paint, then usually I'd follow with high Temp Gloss clear
In reading some say the paint will cure just in use as the brakes heat cycle. I don't have dust to worry about while it cures if I do that.
I would remove the calipers so I can clean and paint the bracket and rotor hats easily , and thoroughly off the car, as well as being able to bake those. I don't plan to remove the calipers from the car necessitating bleeding, etc.
I know some use the brush on G2 paint, but I'm more comfortable with rattle can painting, and taking my time.
Any info on clear and/or curing, or not would be appreciated
