(S) Painted my calipers

Right well finished at about 12:10am this morning, got some abuse off neighbour but who cares! Doing the back calipers soon!






Thought everyone would like to know what it looks like I love it! anyone else like it?

Looks really nice. Wonder what it would have looked like if they were orange though , maybe suited the car better

I dunno, still looks awesome though imo

Yeah i think it looks good, stands out well against the colour of the car. Ive got to ask though, why did you end up finishing that late, lol.

Rich

we kinda erm started at 10:45pm :P

Lol, probably not the best time for that sort of job.

that looks so good !!!!!!!!! i want to do this with out sounding stupid how easy is this to do when i have taken the wheel off then what? do i have to take bits of the caliper off

no jus clean off oil n stuff then paint wot u can see. couple of coats will do dependant on what the tin of paint says. remember to get actual caliper paint or hemrite, cuz normal paint does not adhere propally n peels off.

i spent £20 on the kit from halfords! remember to read the instructions too! need other stuff to do the job!

Took wheels off, cleaned the caliper up with the caliper cleaner included with the painting kit aswell as using a steel brush. covered up what i didn't want painted, followed instructions on how to mix paint and hardener and painted! walah job done... gotta wait a while before u drive it though :P don't drive it too early as you'll get dust all in the paint!

Back ones gonna be done soon

Hmm I wonder how the back drums would look done too.

looks really good, my GPS is orange too, definatly going to do mine now, will wait for the weather to warm up a little first.

i have the car in new orleans blue, what colour you reckon i should paint the calipers?

Its got discs at the rear... or were u asking what your rear drums would be like?

I've looked in halfords for this brake calliper paint kit but can't find it anywhere, the only stuff i can find is there own brand and it comes in a small tin. Is that it?

Looking at painting mine too, is it a good match for the exotic red?.

Would also like to know which to get from halfords. I dont fancy their own make!.

You can just use hammerite paint
