i was going to get some and paint it white,cant see it lasting long though

a shed load of lacquer coats should make it last a fair while. will need cleaning loads tho. lol. i plan on adding a mesh soon too. only thing that puts me off is taking the bumper off. lol

silver mesh look horrible :yuck:

i agreee dnt like it

cheers

one thing i would do is paint the thing behind the mesh black

ino what u mean yh lol i might get some heat resistant paint and paint it say its part of my turbo or suming LMAO

use some filer or epoxy to fix the grille on. the hawk kit is easy to fit mate, if i can do it, anyone can.

ino im fitting it 2moz as my mate can modiffy them to make the signal stronger and the range much longer so cnt wait

 

[SamuraiDragon]

tbh, the range is just fine standard. u dont wanna be unlocking ur car ages away from it, ur just inviting chancers to break into it.

i was gna use high temp paint and that just didnt know if i needed primer or not

i was gna use high temp paint and that just didnt know if i needed primer or not

hammerite looks good unti lit flakes...high temp paint looks good and last but goes bit dull over time covered in brake dust just jet wash them and clean again

first time i did mine no primer and went dull quite quick...this time i primed sprayed and laquered them lasted a while longer dull again but i havnt cleaned them yet may shine again lol

 

[SamuraiDragon]

just use hammerite. brakes wont get close to hot enuf to affect it unless u plan on driving on race tracks all the time and dont need primer to boot. quick clean up of the caliper and holder and slap on the paint.

 

[jip0]

i wouldn't jet wash brake components

 

[BTG]

fitted my hawk remote locking to day makes life so much easyer

 

[Reuuk]

I wouldn't use hamerite on brakes either... and yes they do get hot enough. use HTP only, no primer, they don't need it because of the paint compound

 

[SamuraiDragon]

hammerite has held up fine on my calipers so far.

well......i thought it was a bracket thingy that you screw the bumper too,but someone said its part of the radiator so i dunno.If it is a bumper support just paint it,it shouldn't get hot.
Could also write BTG on the mesh in white :devil:

 

[jip0]

i think if i remember correctly from when i last had the bumper of, that is a bracket that holds the radiator to the chassis and keeps it all tight, i cant imagine it getting hot but painting it will be a pain in the arse and then cleaning it after would be as well

im think im going to try spray it when i get some spray and about the BTG stuff i wasnt thinking of writing BTG but getting the letters and spraying over them so there a sprayed effect:devil:

tbh i cnt see it being hard just newspaper over the rad and all thats around it , hoppefully it will be that easy.

 

[jip0]

you would need to remove the bumper and just make sure no paint gets anywhere it shouldn't and id check it gets hot first as well

the btg idea is awesome though
