Need to replace my front calipers on my 2009 Fit. Before I put them on, I wonder if I should paint them. I live in the salty rust belt and winter is coming. The old ones are really rusty, but they've also lasted this long without any issue to just now. Still, guess I want them to look as nice as possible for as long as possible. How well does this stuff work at least for appearance? Are there any other benefits?
Also, should I put fake Brembo or Honda logos on them when I paint them. A friend has a circut and could make me a stencil. They're just gonna be Duralasts, so completely barren of a logo. I just think it would be funny, and I'll be honest that they aren't actually Brembos when I sell it (probably).
>>28111793do this but make it brenbo for the laughs
>>28111793This but "bumbo" instead
>>28112045>>28112270All good options
Why not just go with "bimbo"?And I paint all parts.If I change a transmission mount and have to pull the transmission brace, I clean the brace and paint it before reinstall.It makes working on the next component much easier, especially on older vehicles with rust, oil or dirt packed in everywhere.And eventually you wind up with a restored vehicle (or atleast a shitbox that lasted a little longer).
>>28111787Spray them a shiny silver coating and call it a day. Don't pretend you have brembos unless you're making a joke akin to the other posters so far.
>>28111787Why not paint it so they look like Chiquita bananas?>imgnotfound
>>28111793banana
>>28112637I like this, however, I'd just do it straight yellow.
>>28113107i feel like it wouldn't look as banana-y if it didn't have the blue streaks
