I painted my calipers

[P.O.B.]

I havent had my golf that long but its time for the modding to begin.
i ordered some Ate rotors from virtual world parts and some hawk brake pads from tire rack. i thought it would be the best time to paint my calipers and wanted to give my rotors a little more bling


there going on this

[CountBlah.......]

Well you probabaly live with your parents.. and I know if I did that to my dad's grass he would kick my ass...

BTW nothing you have pictured are calipers.. and paint on the braking surface of the pad or rotor is a very bad idea...

[Tosh2003]

there going to be hiden

[kreuzer]

lol. this is too funny.

And I thought grass painting was the next Feng Shui....

[mick_vain]

anyone else think painting your rotors might be a bad idea? i'm pretty sure after a few brakes it will all burn off but what happens if the pads don't catch? and are those brake pads or calipers you sprayed?

[Mossman]

is this a joke? are you retarded?

[SLCorrado]

moron.

[Cultgti]

is it me or are you the most stupid moron i have ever read a thread by painting your brake rotor surface has to be as bad as running around with scissors pointing at your face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get a clue and by some paint thinner and clean that up before you kill some one because your car wont stop BTW i do not see any "calipers" in these pic's either!!!

omg, come on buddy, even i kno not to do that

[vr6power !]

WTF ?? .... did I accidentally clicked on the MK4 forum ?

[reynolds9000]

what is it about the color white that makes you think you'll have more bling? I'm le confused as to why you would paint them, regardless of the bling factor

[the governor]

its not white its sliver

[mick_vain]

i think it might be silver. look veddy veddy close...

[WOLF-PACK]

that gave me a good laugh after a hard days work... you should change the tilte to "I painted my rotors & pads"

[mack73]

Please clean those off or go get them milled- how are your brakes going to work with paint on the braking surface

[EffRyeGoGTI]

can you even see thoes threw the blingin caps?

let's keep it constructive guys. everyone was a newbie at some time.

but ya, those are rotors. not calipers.

so don't paint them.

you must be a previous honda owner.

[mick_vain]

please, it is just as possible that he is a previous suzuki swift owner.

[wozzwinkl]

Braking surfaces shall remain clean and clear of any foreign substances at all times. Rust doesnt count. Paint does.

Seriously dude, that was a bad idea, as the others in this thread have pointed out. Odds are that it will just rub/burn off the first few times you use the brakes, but I wouldn't chance it- take the paint off before you reinstall those, if you haven't already.

[SLCorrado]

he hasnt answered cause he is parked in a tree right now.

[mack73]

oh and those are brake pads that you painted, I hope you didn't paint the braking surface

[trixx]

looks awsome!!!!

[Tosh2003]

hahahaha im still laughing at this picture

[nappent]

Well looks like you waste a good amount of money in braking equipment. I advice you check the DYI before trying to do things on you own. Oh well it happens to everyone. We are human and make mistakes. Just make sure you don't put those on your car. It would be like not having any brakes at all. I think you can get the rotors resurface to get the paint off if paint thinner doesn’t work. Yet I would be too embarrassed to take them in to do that. And the pad are useless so throw those away. I suggest you throw all that way and pretend it never happened. Oh and get a new screen name to get a fresh start because people will remember this….

[Schnell-Corrado]

This was in the corrado forum a couple months ago

[Cabby-Blitz]

Is the paint really the worse part??

Really he didnt know not to paint the braking surfaces. But yet he is going to be able to install the rotors and calipers without messing up? Yea and we all know how simple that is.

[the governor]

at least this character painted the rotors off the car unlike our red rotors moron. they should start a club

[5ven3]

that was more like in every forum.

[corduroy79]

this has to be a joke right. not only did he paint the rotors and the pads, but hes got steelies with hub caps... im sooooo confused, im gonna go have a beer.

WORD!

will you do mine for me? i'll pay you whatever you want!

[VW THUNDER]

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHA who paints rotors and BRAKE PADS!!? omg, that's like spraying my air filter Jazz Blue...maybe I will...

Now i've heard of people spraying the perimeter of the rotor while taping off the rotor itself...this is done to prevent rusting on the edge...but painting the rotor and brake pads!? HAHAHAHA

EDIT: I will let the brake pads slide ONLY IF you did not spray the actual pad itself (like the braking surface side) otherwise....
