Painting Calipers and Drums...

ayenoc · 11-27-2006, 02:26 AM

hey guys.. i got an ASM (silver) Lx and I'm thinking of painting the calipers and probably the drums this week.. Should i paint the calipers (front) red or silver? And also should I go ahead paint the brake drums also.. I mean if I go with red, I would just paint the front calipers and prolly leave them rear drums black (stock) or if i go with silver, it would match the color and i would paint the front silver and rear drum breaks.. Thanks guys..

I believe that the "Si" models only came with 4-wheel disc brakes
and all DX/LX/EX models came with drums on the rear.

kinda sucks but ill be modifiying mine to 4w-Discs hopefully soon if not in
the spring.

where can you get the EX rear breaks? don't like the LX's rear drums

hondapartsdeals.com, I think you will need calipers, rotors, pads and whatever the caliper mounts to.

i did mine the other day. i used the duplicolor caliper kit. i did mine red and stuck a honda logo on it from grfxp. it came out nice

don't paint your drums btw.. omg i've seen painted drums before and that shit looks dumb. also i feel like ppl who spray their calipers red have bad results. i see a lot of ppl with chips in their calipers or fading or dirt. the finish from the duplicolor is very glossy and waterproof. i washed my car the next day and the water was beading off the paint. i got the caliper kit at autozone.

if your gonna paint the drums, make them black so they aren't as noticable :P

Dark.GEAR · 04-04-2008, 02:32 PM

i vote for black!!!

magic420 · 04-04-2008, 02:43 PM
