Today on Ideal, we dive into the age-old debate of upgrading car calipers: spray paint versus brush-on kits. The team puts the highly recommended G2 brush-on kit head-to-head with Rustoleum primer and ER spray. From cleaning to priming to painting, every step is meticulously laid out for both methods, ensuring a professional finish. Essential tools like sandpaper, wire brush, primer, paint, and cleaners are highlighted, along with the importance of tape, alcohol, and a torque wrench.
For the spray paint side, calipers must be disassembled, adding an extra layer of complexity. Meanwhile, the brush-on method requires reassembling calipers and bleeding the brakes, showcasing the different levels of effort involved. The results speak volumes: the spray paint side boasts a more uniform and professional finish, albeit with more time and effort. On the flip side, the brush-on side offers a quicker solution, raising the question of whether the extra effort is worth it when the calipers are hidden behind the wheels.
In a surprising twist, the team proposes a hybrid approach as the ultimate solution: opting for spray paint without the hassle of removing the calipers. This efficient and cost-effective method is deemed suitable for the majority of car owners. The vibrant colors and promise of durability over time make this a compelling choice for enthusiasts looking to enhance their ride.
