Callipers

[swfcdan]

Hi All, just a quick question,

while of "sick" from work, the weather was dry and sunny i thought id paint my break callipers. they look great.

TOmorrow i am going to apply my stickers and was wondering if anybody has lacquerd them after.

I have used to search function, but theres lots to trawl through, most seem to have not bothered and im too lazy and "ill" to look through them all. .most of the posts were quite some time ago, so i was wondering if stickers had started to peel etc without lacquering.

:

thanks in advance

lol, apologies, that is shocking spelling! All these tuition fees for uni seem to be a waste of money! i have no hope of graduating!

lol ........ also, you said Sun ? lol ... was you in the UK!

........ I painted my calipers, and put the stickers on ...... I never laquered them !

mine have been on for about 5 years no laquer, and no peeling

I lacquered mine - three are still ok - very clean, yet the NSF is brake dust grey, infact you can only realy see when washing - maybe I missed it with the lacquer

I just laquered the sticker parts to give added protection. Takes 10mins. Gives it more of a shine etc.

I put a few coats other the sitcker just in case they started to come off, I think it looks nicer to!

Best to paint a few coats of laquer on just to protect the paint / stickers, it does'nt take long. I did mine last March and they still look great :D

Some one on here painted them blue - they looked good.

Best bet is to look at the garage at all the IS/Altezzas to get an idea

blue or red would look sporty,rusty part of your disc silver to match wheels or matt black. :)
