Brake Caliper Painting at Ceramic Pro Auto Spa in Lancaster, PA

Is painting brake calipers a good idea?

Caliper Painting is a terrific option. It provides your ride with a classy, alluring touch of color. Choose an aggressive red, yellow, or more unconventional color to add sophistication and make your wheels pop. Calipers acquire difficult-to-remove brake dust and road grime as they age. Worse, calipers can corrode with time. We’ll clear out existing filth, rust deposits, and uneven surfaces in the finish before painting to ensure your brake components are in a superb possible condition. A fresh layer of paint protects your calipers from potential rust and makes them easier to clean, keeping them looking new for longer.

Finish with a clear topcoat.

It is an optional step, but it will provide further protection and shine to your caliper paintwork. After allowing the calipers to dry for 24 hours, you’re finished.
