I've been looking around the internet for guides to painting calipers, and they seem to vary a lot and none of them are for celicas specifically. I was wondering if anyone on here who has done it has any method(s) that they feel works well. Thanks!
P.S I dont have a whole lot of experience so far with cars so a simple method would be appreciated |

Well, First you need to jack the car up, then take the wheel off, and support the car with an axle stand.
Brush off any loose rust with a wire brush, clean any grease off and dry them fully. then you just paint them It's fine to paint them on the car, no need to disassemble anything. Just don't get any on the brake discs, or any obvious moving parts. Always use a brush-on paint, not spray. Not sure of US brands, but i use Japlac, or hammerite, or a specific calliper paint from an auto store. -------------------- |
