I plan on doing this later in the spring or summer. It's actually not that difficult to do yourself. Good link Vic!

Here's a DIY: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=429610

I painted the calipers on a previous car I had. I saw my friend with painted calipers and I asked what paint he used. He said Cheap ass paint! Be basically bought some cheap spray paint to paint his calipers with. He figured if they peeled off he would just spray them again. I did the same, to my suprise the paint never peeled off?!?!

 

Vic, did you find your wheel lock key?

 

yes I think I found it. Alspeed, let's do the caliper paint together

wanna get the paint they recommended in the thread from tirerack? Also S2000 stickers.

 

send me a PM whenever you guys do this. I want red calipers on my car so bad, but I have no need to buy some BBK when I don't plan to track my car.

 

I painted my old GTI calipers black with one of the caliper spray paints from Lordco....still looked perfect after 3 years when I sold the car.

 

spray seems easier eh?

 

maybe but all the taping was a b!tch (without taking them off the car). I havent taken a good look at the s2000 calipers yet but I think brushing would probably do a better job. It was really hard to tape off some of the smaller spots so I had some paint on the back of the brake pads, etc.

 

sweet, i wanna do it to,, if anyone wants to do it,,, mind if i join,!! pm me,~
