I have set of bullit calipers on my car and they are starting to look a little rough do you guys think I should repaint them maybe powdercoat them or just get new ones
oo i forgot about that lil thing. theres a company on ebay that sells those little decals if u wanted to paint over it and then slap a new one on there
If you want to keep the horse. get some masking tape and carefully tape the horse off. Might be a little tricky so you will have to take your time. Then paint the caliper and peel the tape off.
I'd mask the pony off and use a fine tipped knife (exacto) to cut around it. While you're at it, throw some paint on the caliper bracket. I just did mine 'cause that black was starting to fade and looked like a$$...
BTW, you will need to sand the current paint for whatever your new paint is to stick to. I personally used G2 from Tire Rack. If you look at the pic, the caliper is the original Bullitt paint and the bracket is the G2...VERY close match.
I wish I wouldve just left my Mach 1 calipers the way they where stock. The painting I did came out ok, but it started chipping pretty fast. I think I will just have to buy the 4 piston Brembo kit now instead , or remove them & get them powdercoated.
I had mine off to do pads and rotors anyway. Since you're painting over powder coating and should sand them down I would definately take them off so you don't miss a spot or 2 that might turn up later down the road.
