has anyone ever painted the brakes on a 2002 camaro?
hi,
i would REALLY like to paint the outside of the brakes red just like the corvette.
Does anyone know if this is poosible on a 2002 Camaro v6 and if so what does it take meaning $$ and time.
And could this be done yourself?
Please let me know!
Thanks!

buy the stuff in the can, the brush on kit takes 2-3 coats and it will leave brush lines.
1, take wheel off, clean with water and degreasor and wire brush twice, then dry with compressed air or hair dryer
2. mask off most the hub where the wheel meets and most the brake disc, it's doesn't need to be perfect because the pads will burn off the overspary.
3. do 2-3 coats of paint

I've wondered about those since the '93-'97 cars don't have very attractive calipers, however, people at car shows would HAMMER you with insults for them. If they didn't say Brembo on them, they'd be more acceptable, but pretending you have $3,000+ brakes and not having them is a no no.

I think you'd be better off painting yours and getting some regular Caliper Decals and maybe some drilled rotors.

You might fool a couple people but anyone who knows what they are looking at is going to know right away that they are fake.
Just paint your calipers and be done- maybe throw on some "Camaro" decals and you will be surprised how much just that changes the look of your car.
