DIY Caliper Paint

[Jet55]

Why pay $299 for caliper overlays when you can do this yourself. Front wheels done in two hours once I figured out the "Jack <Mode" I will do the rears after my service appt after they address my hanging caliper and install my winter wheels. $28 bucks on Amazon. POR 15 caliper paint.

Looks great, I did the same thing, slapped on a CyberBeast sticker before the clear coat. Spent more on the stickers than I did on the primer, paint, and clear coat.

$28 is barely a nick to the wallet. These nicks are the actual price (and well worth it!)

Good job....

I live on a boat during the summer. My hands always look like that

nice, what is the before process? cleaning, masking off? I want to do this, but I never attempted this before.

clean with alcohol, no real need to tape off. apply first coat, wait a few hours and apply a second coat.
