Has anyone tried brake caliper covers? They look pretty cool and easy to install. I'm thinking of putting them on my '07' S Type. Any suggestions?

Thanks

 

its a bit like breast enhancements , for your car .
pointless but looks pretty .

Thanks, I'm thinking I'll just paint them BRG to match the car.

 

Rustoleum makes a caliper paint in a can. The best one is a 900 degree paint and really works. Been on my car for 3 years and shows no signs of fading, peeling, or chipping. The auto parts store only had 500 degree and I ran across the good stuff at Walmart.

 

Very cool thanks for the tip. I'm on off to Walmart. I also found some heat resistant decals on ebay.

 

Beast enhancements pointless?! I always liked breast enhancements!

 

I used silver Rust-oleum just plain ole silver brush on for Joyces Jag calipers. I used to pull wheels off regularly to clean inside of rims. Every now and then I would hit the calipers with a bit of touch up from the silver quart and a small modelers paintbrush and call it a day. The paint is still visible and looks pretty good even long after I stopped painting them and cleaning the inside of the wheels....

I always liked beer enhancements!

 

Just finished G2 paint w/ high temp lettering after replacing pads, rotors and fuel filter. Takes longer to dry than spray paint but G2 seems durable. Btw, I second the beer enhancements!

 

Ok now I'm really confused! I get that painting the calipers is the way to go. But is it breast enhancements or beer? I'm guessing if I start with beer than any breast enhanced will do? ;-)

 

+1 on paint for ease, cost, time, look. I painted my calipers red like David's 9 years ago and still very happy with the look and durability.

 

you dont need high temp paint . i painted my opel gsi brakes 19 years ago with metalic Lacquer paint and clear coat to match the cars colour . same with my datsun 22 years ago , both still look like new .
the opel has done some hard driving across 150000km for me with this paint , no problems so dont waist your money on overkill paint for calipers. they dont reach the temp required for high temp paints.

 

Had an Opel years ago. A 1970 red wagon. Great little car.

 

Has anyone tried vinyl wrapping the calipers with high temp vinyl wrap like from the below web site?

What was the outcome for you?
