How to DIY Paint Car Brake Calipers

Paint brake calipers is relatively easy as long there is someone to remove the car wheels for us. My Toyota Vios mileages hit another 10,000KM, with total mileages of 70,610KM. Our vehicles are recommended to change the engine oil, oil filter and wheels balancing with alignment for every 10,000KM.
I took this opportunity to paint the Toyota Vios brake calipers too! I went to the Chang Soon Tyre Service located in Relau to perform my routine car services, and perform the painting on the brake calipers.

There are 3 bottle of spray cans that I required to prepare before I went to the workshop for the brake calipers paint. The 3 bottles paint are white paint, red paint and lacquer that cost me RM18.

Step 1: Front Disk Brake Paint

1. Remove the 4 tires from the vehicle.
2. Clean the front brake calipers and drum brakes with water and soap to remove the grease then dry it with air blower
3. Since I had they to realigned my drum brake tension, so we are required to remove the drum from the drum brake (this step is not required if you just want to paint the drum)
4. The painting started with white color. The white paint is sprayed from the can evenly on the brake calipers. Several layer (at least 3 layers for each paint) of paint is required to assure the paint is evenly spread on the brake calipers with interval of 10 minutes. We used newspapers to cover the drive shaft to prevent it from overspray the paint to other compartment.

6. Once we are done with 3 layers of red paint, we shall proceed with another 3 layers of lacquer painting. The purpose of the lacquer is to outshine the red color paint on the brake calipers.

Step 2: Rear Drum Brake Paint

1. Next we move to paint the rear drum brake. The steps are same as painting the front brake calipers.
2. We started the painting with white color for 3 layers and then move to red color for another 3 layer, and lastly with lacquer for another 3 layers on the drum covers.

Step 3: Install Back the Wheels to the Car
