Front Brake Calipers

[The Bakerman]

I want to paint my front front brake calipers. Are there any surprises that I need to be aware of, or is it just pulling out the two bolts that hold them in, and then the required masking before paint.
Thanks for your help.

You need a heat resistant paint, good luck and post some pictures.

Look at a auto part stores. They have the high temp stuff for brake calipers.

Don't hit your break pedal.

I have the correct paint. I was just wondering if there are any clips or shims that I need to be aware of when I remove the calipers.

BRP have a caliper trim kit for $19.99 in the Accessories Catalog. I have them on my 2011 RS-S SE5 from new.

I have that trim kit too, but I'm going to paint the whole caliper. I like the looks of it. I've seen it done on another black Spyder

Shim

I measure the thickness of the rotor. Slip a piece of wood or plastic the same thickness between the pads. Paint with high temp paint. Let cure 24 hours. Remove shims, reinstall wheels. Torque lug nuts.
