marzman Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi Guys, Im going to be painting my calipers this week probably - what should i clean them with first?? Im not gonna be removing the calipers or pads etc, so it needs to be a paint on cleaner... ...and before you all start - i've got JDM brakes so im not doing anything sacrilege!

Ekona Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 On previous cars I've just used a good stiff steel brush and some Wynns brake cleaner. Never had a problem with that combo, and that was using cheapo Halfrauds paint too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Any decent wheel cleaner and a striff brush will do the job. If it doesn't come off with a stiff brush chances are its staying on for life so painting it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 What colour are you painting them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Painting them silver. Got black wheels with a chrome lip coming this week hopefully, so going to go with a black & silver theme across the car - so will be tinting the windows later in the summer.
