Johnle Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Having my Break Calipers painted by Subaru Annapolis as we speak, can not wait for work to end so I can see the results, they are going to be Light Blue in color hopefully to match my paint which is also Blue will let you know how it goes.

mbacis Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Make sure you post pics afterwards. I've been wanting to do mine a burnt orange (like the KSport Coilovers), but I can't find a high-temp paint in that color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhiTauFord Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Did mine myslelf . . . $10 total plus a few hours of my time. Came out great. I'll add some pics of mine later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnle Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 The cost is $120 (3 hours) for the work and $40 for the paint They have found an Enamel paint from a German company which is a very close match to Atlantic Blue but not exact, I will post some pictures hopefully tomorrow. I have a good relationship with the Service Manager who is doing the work himself. He also did the Cobb upgrades for me so I am still in warrenty, I recomend to all of you get a good relationship going with the service dept in your dealer it can save you much hassle in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mele63 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 My rotors rusted, so I sanded them and painted them with Rustoleum. I let the car sit overnight so everything would dry real good. This morning the car wouldn't move! To make things worse, I can't get the lug nuts off now. http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3520/brembo9uu.jpg I knew I should have had the dealer do this for me. Now I may have voided my warranty. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 mele63 - Not sure if you're joking or not - but if not....see those two threaded holes? Match a properly threaded set of high-grade bolts with them, and screw-in towards the hub -- as those bolts go "in," they'll cause the rotor to pop "out." Did you just paint the rotor hat or actually the entire rotor - including the "disc" part? <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quest Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 If your dealer voids your warrenty for painting your calipers, punch em in the throat. Why would paint void your warrenty? By the way, you can get a brake caliper paint kit at Pep Boys for 10 bucks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
