Bullitt Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'd try the paint to match and see how it looks, if you don't like it you blast it and polish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferocious Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Polished caliper with matching bracket would look sweet. That or just paint it black with white cobra lettering.And car sounds great bruh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-Oh Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I my opinion, polishing the calipers would look bad with everything you have going on. You have teal paint with dark charcoal wheels and then just randomly have a polished caliper? Just seems like it would clash, especially if you paint the bracket teal.

Craig Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 ah i gotcha. the only concern id have with polishing the calipers is keeping em polished haha. adds a little time to your detailing regiment but i think it would look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clark98gt Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Did you take the calipers apart yourself or are they doing it? When I mean apart I mean the pistons and seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Did you take the calipers apart yourself or are they doing it? When I mean apart I mean the pistons and seals.Yes sir! lol here ya god, I made another thread about it in the how to section:1. Remove caliper from car2. Place something in the caliper opening to stop the pistons from becoming a projectile. Here I used an old piece of thick rubber hose. 3. Using an air compressor and rubber nipple, insert the nipple into the opening where the brake line connects to and hit it with air until one of the pistons pop out. (see vid)4. Here you can see I replaced the rubber hose with a roll of tape. This was to keep the seal on the upper piston so that the lower piston will also dislodge. 5. Hold the air into until both pistons pop out an equal length.6. Replace the rubber hose again once both pistons are dislodged an equal amount on the tape roll.7. Hit the caliper again with the compressed air so that they will dislodge fully.8. Remove pistons and pull out seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshHooten Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 It would be nice to know how to do. I had both of my rears over extend and the calipers wouldn't go back in bent 2 c-clamps trying to get them back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
