Got bored this arvo...
  Cleaned out the shed and got busy!  (For those wondering, yes I got Tims permission before scampering off to the hardware store!)

 No Primer was used during the painting of these Calipers. I did however wash them with SolVol-laced hot water and a wire brush before painting them.

The brakes look good, mate, well done.
I realise the photos are taken in a way that will always make the car look high, but holy crap that car needs lowering again!  :  : Tim Last edited by Timmeh; 14-03-2005 at 10:44 PM. |

Xmetal,
That looks great. As you might be aware my Foci is Colorado Red. Does the paint come in Flame Blue i.e. the colour of your car? That might make for a great combination in my situation. Did I notice you did the strut support too? Fast Eddie. __________________________ Red Cars Go Faster! |

 Dunno if the paint comes in blue but I reckon Yellow would suit a red car... ;)

I used the engine paint for my Calipers. 3 colours used. So far no flaking or any thing. Still looking good.
This is on my AU3 XR6.

A photo or two of the car a little further back to get an idea of what the brakes look like, a little less dominating than close up.
  Bucknaked - those calipers look a treat - were the Tickford emblems on them or were they added afterwards? Tim! |
