Re: Where do I find aftermarket red-colore calipers for '01 Saab Aero Posted by bryan [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Where do I find aftermarket red-colore calipers for '01 Saab Aero, knep, Tue, 19 Jun 2001 20:48:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
most auto parts stores carry 'Brake Caliper Paint'. One can should be enough to do all 4 calipers.
When i did mine, i didn't disconnect the calipers, just disassembled the carriage and masked off the hose, bleed nipple, piston, etc. Wire brushing with some brake cleaner, tape up some newspaper to mask off the wheel wells, and if you're not a total spaz with the spray can, you should get good results.
As always with any rattle can, go VERY light on the first couple of coats, you don't have to do it all at once! Since your car is so new, they should clean up easy (took me FOREVER to get the calipers paintable on a 92) and look pretty nice when you're done...good luck!
Oh, your other option would be the Brembo 'Big Reds' for around 3 grand :)
I bet a dirty afternoon looks a little more attractive than dropping 3 G's on brakes ;)
