Painting calipers is a specialized service that involves cleaning, prepping, and painting the brake calipers on a vehicle, typically to enhance its appearance or customize the look. Here’s an overview of caliper painting services: Steps Involved: Preparation: Wheel Removal: The wheels are taken off to access the brake calipers. Cleaning: The calipers are cleaned thoroughly to remove brake dust, grease, and rust, ensuring the paint adheres well. Sanding (optional): In some cases, the calipers are lightly sanded to create a better surface for the paint. Masking: Nearby parts such as brake rotors, pads, and surrounding areas are masked off to avoid getting paint on them. Painting: Primer Application: A high-temperature primer is applied to ensure the paint sticks well and withstands the heat generated by braking. Paint Application: A high-heat resistant paint, often in colors like red, black, blue, or custom colors, is applied. Some may opt for specialized finishes like metallic or glossy. Clear Coat: A clear coat is applied to protect the paint from chipping, chemicals, and wear. Finishing Touches: Branding/Decals (optional): Some services offer decals or logo application (such as Brembo or custom designs). Curing: The paint is allowed to cure, ensuring it’s fully dry before the wheels are reinstalled. Benefits: Aesthetic Appeal: Gives the vehicle a sportier, more customized look. Protection: The paint also provides protection against rust and corrosion. Durability: High-quality caliper paint is designed to withstand high temperatures and maintain its look. Cost: Calliper painting services typically range from £150 to £400 depending on the type of service, colour options, and any additional custom work or decals requested.
