Hi,

I am looking to paint the calipers of my A4, 2.4 V6 in porsche red. Does anybody know what is the colour code of it, and from where it could be purchased online? In addition, is there any special technique that it needs to be painted in?

Appreciate it.

 

Have you looked into the caliper painting kits online? You can't just use any old paint.

 

hey where online did u pull that from ?

 

just did a good image search. you can buy that kit tons of places.

 

i did my calipers silver on my silver B5 looks good, all i had to do was go to the local pepboys and get the duplicolor kit....like 15 bucks.

 

Likewise, just be carfull what you clean your wheels with anything strong will take the shine right off the calipers. It did on mine and they look like hell now.

 

I used the duplicolor red ($12 or $13 at my neighborhood parts store). I considered the two part paints but didn't want the mixing hassle, and wouldn't try spray paint because of the overspray. I unbolted the front calipers and removed the pads for better access, hung them with scrap wire so they wouldn't hang on the brake lines, cleaned them well using the supplied cleaner, then brushed on 3 coats. You only need to wait 15 or 20 minutes between coats. I also added audi rings decals from XenonMods. Looks awesome, and is holding up well.

(I didn't bother with the rear calipers since they are ugly little mothers anyways :-))
