AP Calliper Paint

s.mac · 18-12-2009, 03:08 PM

I've just got my AP brakes back from the longest recon ever ! they could do with another coat of paint now they are clean

Has anyone had there's re painted and if so any recommendations where I can send them, with an approximate cost for all 4 ?

Thanks

After the same thing, mine are turning silver, bit reluctant to DIY it. Thorney can repaint but not sure of the cost.

Hopefully I will have some feedback on Monday

Yellow calipers with black AP writing could look nice on a SB car

Thank you for your enquiry,

Unfortunately Re-Painting is something we do not cover, most customers just use caliper paint that you can buy from Halfords of some car accessory place.

There is a place in Birmingham that does calipers.

Will try and dig out the number when I get back tonight.

Hi Steve, we can spray paint them with normal car paint, but for high temperatues it would be best to brush paint with proper caliper laquer. (Depends on the car, usage (track days etc?)
We would then airbrush the AP racing. If you go the spray paint route the choice of colours is limitless. For the brush on caliper paint its limited to blue, yellow, red and black. Price will be about the same, prep time is the same, brushing on is quicker but the paint is very expensive (about £60 for a small tin and we may need 2 tins. Spraying option takes longer and requires baking in the oven. So either way you are looking at about £280 plus VAT for either option. Pic of the Diablo calipers we painted recently is attached. These were brushed painted and the logo airbrushed on in a Nissan anthracite colour. Kind regards, Mike
