Caliper Painting: The Small Detail That Changes the Whole Car

Catch us on the gram

@pimpmycar_aus

Look at any car you love and your eye eventually lands behind the spokes. Calipers are jewellery for wheels, and painting them is the highest-impact small job we do.

One of our regulars, Hesam, brought in his Porsche Cayenne after we had already done his C63. Porsche-style yellow calipers behind gloss black wheels, and suddenly the whole side profile has a focal point.

Done properly or not at all

The internet is full of rattle-can caliper jobs that peel within a season. Brakes live a hard life: they get hot, they get blasted with dust and water, and ordinary paint gives up fast.

We pull the wheels, clean and degrease the calipers back to bare metal, mask everything, then apply a high-temperature ceramic coating that is built for exactly this environment. Logos and custom badging go on before the final cure. The finish is warrantied against fade for two years and in practice lasts far longer.

Picking your colour

Classic red never misses. Yellow reads exotic. Bronze and gold are having a moment, the Defender above matched its calipers to its custom plates. And if you are wrapping the car, we will colour-match or contrast the calipers so the whole build feels intentional.
