A week ago, my left rear caliper's piston got stuck. Decided to replace all 4 corners because I figured if one goes bad, the rest will eventually too. Bought a set up from a forum member on here. I decided to paint them black because little red calipers looks a little ricey to me haha.

My process was brake clean > 180grit sand > brake clean > 400grit sand > brake clean. Then VHT primer > VHT black > Nissan decal > VHT clearcoat.

Here is the first caliper that I finished

Thoughts and comments?

 

Looks better than red

 

with being black they wont scream... hey, look how small and cute i am.

honestly, you did a good job on them

 

+1



They look nice, OP. Tastefully done.

 

Decal is a bit much for stockers, but clean regardless.

 

Nice job!

Better than brake dust brown.

Like mine....

 

mine from the factory are bright red, and to be honest, next to impossible to keep clean..... need to seal the things, that should help some

 

Mine are silver and rust corrosion color... The black looks good.

 

Whoa! My oem calipers didn't come with a Nissan logo from the factory tho?! Da fck?????

 

Looks good. DeusExMaxima did something similar with his, with sanding smooth and painting.

 

Lol they're Nissan caliper decal. 10$ on Amazon for 2 big ones for the front/ 2 small ones for the rears.

Thanks for all the nice comments. Much appreciated.

 

Looks good

 

I had mine a shade of orange similar to le mans(since my car is le mans) Changed it over to semi-gloss black this year since they are small and I want to hide them

 

Pretty cool!

 

Not a bad job. They look clean...

 

Update: just finished all 4 calipers. Unfortunately, the cold weather outside made the drying process longer than I expected and I messed up a bit. But redoing them seems obsolete. Here they are - 4 black calipers

 

might have to do that to my G
