Caliper/Exhaust paint. Where to get it?

[Dobby]

any idea where I can find decent caliper/exhaust paint, around the waikato? Repco and supercheap just don't have the colour choice

thanks all

If you're after a special colour you'll probably have to ask a automotive paint shop. I'm surprised Repco etc don't stock pink tbh

[Dobby]

and that is exactly the colour I'm after.... pfffft haha

Auto1? could they stock it? (NOT pink haha)

what colour are you after?

Anywhere that can get hold of VHT can get caliper paint for you. I can also get hold of it

I'm considering... http://www.spc.org.uk/nissan/1-12_skyli ... ne-114.jpg That there is a 1:12 scale model car, but I really like that colour combination

I painted my calipers with dupli-color metalcast about a yr ago. strictly speaking it's not high temp brake paint, but it has lasted perfectly. it has two coats, the base/ground coat is a silver metallic which sticks like shit to carpet, then you have a choice of candy/clear coats, one of which is close to what you're after ( may look a little more like evo brembo gold but meh )

dupli-colour? I'm sure that's the stuff repco sells, but yes like you say it's not high temp... If it works I suppose that could be my plan b lol

yeah they have duplicolor and VHT.
repco can actually order stuff in too. so ask if you cant find what u want cos they can probably get hold of it

yep they do ( well here in aux they do ) and supercrap stock it too.

FYI this is how mine looked about a month ago (11 months of abuse)



i used the blue topcoat faded to a purple (nissan part filed back to alloy and polished). the gold topcoat is ever so slightly more orange than my spacers.

note: if you do use this stuff don't bother with a clear coat, it will go yellow with heat.
also before painting i used some rust remover acid stuff from repco to wipe it down, give a good surface to paint on when it dries.

oh sweet! there's like nothing wrong with that.... hmm might shoot into repco and really scrutinize what they do have lol Exactly what kind of paint is it? Is it an enamel?

if its a duplicolour your after just tell them wat u want and how long it will take to get it in. usually we should be able to. better yet come to the town one on a thur fri or sat and ask for bex and ill look into it for ya.

[Dobby]

which one is that? The one just down the road from supercheap and pak n' sav etc?

All sussed now and painted up I'll upload some pics when I get home tonight
