The brakes and brake power is not affected by painting near the brake assembly.
Places where paint should not be applied are the surface of the disk hub where the alloy wheels connect to the base of the hub.
Brake lines are not painted and kept chemical free.
Brakes are one of the most important features on a vehicle and we take every precaution to ensure the brake system is 100% safe.
Painting Calipers While they are on the car VS Off the car
Deciding how to paint your brake calipers will depend on a few factors and this includes.
1. Your budget
2. Your time
3. The tools you have available
4. Automotive Knowledge
5. Type of Car
6. Reason for Painting them in the first place
If you are restoring a classic vehicle such as a mustang or baracuda or porsche or old ferrari or old hot rod or have a long stretching budget then taking the calipers off the car and painting them is the best method.
This allows for them to be properly cleaned and de greased in a solution pre prepared , air dried and paint will be applied all over the assembly creating a true painted finish and covering areas that you cannot see whilst the caliper is attached.
The downside to this method is that it requires a period of longer time and in this time you will not be able to use the vehicle.
Additionally nobody will actually notice at a glance the effort you have gone to.
---
The easier way is to paint the calipers whilst they are still on the car.
This will provide the look of a color caliper and observers would hardly ever notice that the inside un-visible components have not been colour coated.
Painting the calipers whilst still on the car also allows you to finish the job in one day and have access to your vehicle sooner.
Visually there is no difference.

We do not recommend the use of brake caliper covers.
Brake caliper covers add an additional component to a braking system which is not designed to be there.
Brake Caliper covers are dangerous and look unprofessional.
We always recommend to either have your calipers professional painted or powdercoated instead of using brake caliper covers

A lot of customers have been asking to convert their AMG Mercedes brake calipers from the factory silver to red.
We have also helped our customers to keep their AMG branded calipers by fabricating black brake caliper decals.
More images are available in our gallery and slide shows.
We apint AMG brake calipers.
We are looking forward to working with Mercedes dealerships to provide caliper painting , wheel repair and introduce the PRG group into the auto industry.
We paint high end motor vehicle brake calipers and also do anti corrosive coatings on the wheel hubs of these vehicles.
Before painting calipers , they need to be masked off using masking paper.
The best way to mask brake calipers for painting is to try mask off some of the brake pad.
In most cases we try to mask off the brake pad, in some cases we mask off the logo plate such as the audi logo plates.
This creates a two tone effect on the caliper and it looks great once the brake caliper painting is finished.
We are the number one source for Painting Brake Calipers. There are many reasons why someone would be looking at painting brake calipers.
Usually it is due to having some new alloy wheels and to improve the look of the car. We can help you painting brake calipers on site.
To hand paint the embossed logos on a set of brake calipers we follow a similar process.
First we paint the brake calipers
Then we must use a fine paint brush to brush onto the embossed lettering of the calipers.
This will take a few coats and light coats and even strokes work best.
After the hand painted sections are dry we must clear coat / gloss coat the calipers to seal the work.

Rusty Wheel Hubs
A very common problem these days is rusty wheel hubs, we can fix this in addition to painting the brake calipers.
We fix rusty wheel hubs by using a whire wheel to remove the rust from your wheel hubs and the painting that area in a rust proof paint in your choice of colour. The most common is black.
Rusty wheel hubs can also destroy the look of your new wheels and is never a nice look on a car.

Acrylic Paint on brake Calipers
Some info on using acrylic paint on your brake calipers
Acrylic paints are different from urethane in that they are water-based. resin sticks to the product using water as its primary agent, instead urethane depends more on a solvent. In this sense, acrylic paint is less toxic than urethane. Hardeners and other chemicals are not necessary, so acrylic paint is ready to go, simply put in a spray-can and apply. The application process, however, is slightly different than urethane, as acrylic paint tends to emerge in smaller droplets.

You can be sure that we provide a premium service using this system.
We always tidy up our work area after finishing the caliper painting.

Concidered Painting the Calipers yourself ?
What you need to know
Caliper painting involves some labour work you need to know how to jack up a car and leave it on jack stands.
Additional precautions need to be taken when removing the wheels and making sure not to over tighten the wheels
Professional cleaning and degreasing must be done before any colour application.
If the brake calipers are not prepped and cleaned correctly, it is likely that the paint will not hold.
If you dont have time to do this yourself or simply lack the painting and decal application knowledge, we can definetly help you.
If you are confident and want to do this yourself we have a guide which you can follow.

AMG Mercedes brake calipers
When painting Amg brake calipers there are two types of calipers.
1. raised bevelled metal logo and sticker decal logo type.
We use different methods for each one. for example for the bevelled amg decals the method we use is to mask off the mag caliper decal and still leave a chrome backing plate behind the caliper decal. The rest of the caliper is painted red.
With the other amg decal that has the flat sticker type application we simply sand back the original decal and paint the calipers then reapply a custom cut caliper decal.
This is the best method for painting amg calipers.
We have been painting brake calipers for years and done all sorts of caliper restorations , brembo calipers we have even painted Ferrari Calipers and we have never had a complaint because we pride ourselves on customer service and we dont stop until the component looks to the standard we expect from our paint and restoration work.
