The Process

1

Quote and colour selection

You send through a few photos of your wheels and let Jaryd know what colour you are after. He will confirm what is involved and get back to you fast.

2

Wheel removal or in-situ masking

Depending on the setup, callipers are either worked on with wheels removed or carefully masked off in place so surrounding parts stay protected.

3

Clean and prep

Every calliper gets thoroughly degreased and any rust, dust or old paint is abraded back. Good prep is what separates a finish that lasts from one that peels in three months.

4

Paint application

High-temp calliper paint goes on in controlled coats, building up even coverage. Rushing this step causes drips and uneven colour, so Jaryd takes the time to do it right.

5

Top coat and cure

A clear top coat is applied for added depth and chip resistance. The callipers are left to cure properly before wheels are refitted or released.

6

Final check

Once everything is back together, Jaryd does a final visual check across all four callipers to make sure the finish is consistent and clean.

Is This Right For You?

Calliper painting is a great fit for anyone who has just bought a used ute or SUV and wants to clean up the look underneath the rims, or for anyone building out a car they are proud of and wants the details to match. It also works well as part of a full detail or new car protection package if you want the whole vehicle looking sharp from the ground up.

Common Questions About Calliper Painting

How long does calliper painting take in Waterford West?

Most jobs take between two and four hours depending on the condition of the callipers and whether wheels need to be removed. Jaryd will give you a more accurate time estimate when you get your quote.

Can you paint callipers without removing the wheels?

Yes, in many cases callipers can be painted in situ with careful masking around the rotor and surrounding components. Where the condition or access makes removal the better option, that will be discussed with you upfront.

How long does the paint last on brake callipers?

When the surface is properly prepped and a high-temp paint is used, a good calliper paint job will hold up for years under normal driving conditions. Skipping prep or using the wrong product is usually what causes early peeling or fading.

Do you come to my driveway in Waterford or do I need to drop the car off?

Magpie Detailing is a mobile service operating across Waterford West and the wider Logan area, so Jaryd comes to you. A flat driveway with enough room to work around the vehicle is all that is needed.

Can I pick a custom colour for my callipers?

Yes. Beyond the standard reds, blacks and silvers, custom colours are available. Let Jaryd know what you have in mind when you get your quote and he will confirm what can be matched or sourced.
