painting m4 blue brake calipers?

sal501 · 09-06-2014, 07:41 PM

What are the options, if I want to paint the blue brake calipers to Sakhir Orange color?

GOLFFRR · 09-06-2014, 07:43 PM

a couple guys have done this on the forum. Just not sure where they are getting them done at but I'm sure with all the vendors on the forums in cali you should be able to find someone

keep us posted that would look awesome if you did that

He does all the refinish work for StopTech, and does an outstanding job. I have used him personally, and can attest to his quality of work.

The options are endless. We've done YMB to match the car, red on a black car (instead of gold), and pearl white on a YMB. We also did interior pieces to match.

Looks sharp... wish I lived in the area to get this done.

We've had customers ship us their calipers for paint. We did a set for a guy who lives back east last week. From the time we receive them to the time we ship out is about 2 days. For a fee we may be able to do a 1 day turnaround.

The interior trim looks greta in YMB. Any pics from the process of painting itself ?

Do you replace ALL the piston seals with new after powdercoating or is that up to the buyer?

As obviously the calipers need to be disassembled prior to powdercoating to do the job correctly

Darth One · 12-04-2018, 12:29 PM

this is a great necropost. although Gabe@TAG has a status of 'banned' so maybe other vendors can step up.

what's the approximate cost of powdercoating the four calipers? i am entertaining the notion of painting my CCB hats in acid orange. although since i'm a lunatic, what i really want to do is store the stock gold calipers and get another set to paint.

If you remove them yourself and brake them down (pun intended), it shouldnt be more than $200 for all 4

Hello.

I had mine painted vintage Mintgruen from Porsche. The fading ///M was driving me crazy. The color is not for everyone but obviously, I love it. Matches a few other parts under the engine bay.

This is what I pay thru local powder coat shop to do a set of calipers ($50/ea) as long as I remove pistons/seals & replace them myself

Its a thin vinyl sticker, it has virtually no visible thickness.

How do these stickers hold up after a while? Is a clear coat painted over these stickers?

They are still perfect. Yes, a light coat of clear.

Where did you get the stickers? How do they compare size wise to OEM?
