Hey what do you guys think about polishing the calipers?


jsut polishing them up a little bit with a wheel so they are shiny, slap a decal on then clearcoat them with some duplicolor?

Or shoudl I just go into painting them?

 

its a good idea and it would definitely look good. try your hand at polishing them and hit them with a clearcoat, like you said, after applying a decal.

 

I've seen full polished calipers before in pics and it looks sweet.

 

how hard is it?

just some sort of grinding/polishing tips on a drill?

 

I dunno how bad you wanna go that route. If you want to take a quick and somewhat ****ty looking view at it you can go grab a wire wheel and go to town on it.

Ive never done this with calipers, but most metal "polishing" you start with around 300grit sandpaper, then 500, then a 600wet. Theres really no need to go higher than 600 for a caliper as it will seem very smooth already. Then apply your decal and slap some clearcoat on their. Should last a long time.

That would look pretty slick with a chrome wheel, as long as your rotors were new looking.

 

i did it before i got my baer brake setup and it looked pretty sweet, if i find a pic ill post it
