Lookin' good mate

Excellent, fancy coming to do mine ?

I really wouldn't of thought blue + blue would of worked... but they look great mate!

(now I'm torn between blue & black)

Looking good, fancy coming to do mine

Yeah bring the pot of paint to JAE


I will be doing mine the same colour, when i get round to it, i saw the dark blue hamerite, and wondered if it would look ok.

And it does

I did mine with dk blue smoothrite too ...
Not as dark as the tin indicates unfortunately ...

Oh well, it'll do as undercoat for satin black instead if i can be ar5ed

I'm convinced that blue would be best for me now!

They look fabtastic mate - good job there.......

They look very nice pal. I think the blue & blue work well together.

very nice mate

want to do mine but i'll probably screw it up

thought black wit white stickers or red wit white stickers but blue is very nice wit white stickers..................hmmmm................. jus gotta decide to do it, aint good at stuff like that

Very nice. Bit more tasteful than my sporty red ones!

thanks for the comments guys
by the way dont know if its noticeable but stickers are silver, although i was torn between silver and white.
cheers

Painting calipers is pretty cool I think I'm gonna do it once I have my is200..

What colour is best for calipers on a silver is200?

i got silver Altezza, i painted front calipers red today, front, didnt have time to paint rear ones which i paint nxt time
i use foliatek make, had to add hardener to paint using.
where can you get hammerite paint?i heard u dont have to add hardener, sounds easier.
i bought foliatek paint from Carnoisseur, performance store, they dont sell hammerite.

it would help to know where you are from

in uk its in every DIY store
halfords
motor accessory shops

because your asking i presume your not uk

im from uk, Southend Essex.
i never painted them before so dunno manufacturer that make this stuff...
i go to place called 'Carnoisseur'(carnoisseur.com), they dont happen to sell this hammerite product.
as for Halfords i try not to go there unless have to.
just wish i bought this 'hammerite' paint which dont require you to add other stuff in.

I painted mine high gloss black. used the Folia Tec kit and dressed them up with chrome decals from Lextasy.

they really stand out well against the wheels.

when i get a digi i'll put up some pics.
