Decided to paint the calipers on the Cruze today.

That looks really good, nice job. I just wish it didnt call attention to our little discs.

I don't have the can of paint in front of me right now it's at work but it's caliper paint that I purchased at Advanced Auto Parts. If you want the brand name I can post it tomorrow. I used the same paint on my 2008 Corvette calipers and they are holding up very well after two years and I drive the Vette a lot harder than my wife drives the Cruze, LOL.

Now THATS what disc brakes are supposed to look like!

looks sharp man, you did a good job. definitely adds to the sportiness of the RS package.

I forgot to mention the front calipers I was able to paint without removing the calipers. The rear I removed the calipers to do a better job. The rear was a little more complicated to paint.

I was impressed to see the rear brake calipers on the Cruze has brake caliper vibration dampeners to absorb vibration for smoother braking and elimate squeeking. First time I ever saw the device. It's the lower caliper pin bolt has an extension added to it with a bulk head mounted in rubber to absorb the vibration. Pretty cool idea!

I'll have to look for that when I change my pads, never seen that before either.

Looks really good!!

I want to paint my also since my Cruze is Crystal Red Metallic. It should match up with the car well I think.

 

[gmarcucio]

Crystal Red is nice!!! Will look good on that car.

[gmarcucio]

That's cool!!! Can't go wrong for that price. It was a lot of work painting them.
