Finally Got Round To Painting The Calipers


Recommended Posts

Finally got a chance to paint the brake calipers and put the decals on :D very pleased with the result ties in very well with the colour of the car IMHO, cant believe how easy it was to do aswell just a little time consuming but when it's sunny who cares. ;)

I'd go red(can't beleive I just wrote that) matey with your car being black, seen a black IS last week with red calipers looked nice.

Sorry :) should of mentioned that they are available through LOC, the ones on eBay are slightly curved to follow the line of the caliper and the LOC ones are straight like the Lexus badge so it's just a matter of preference.

Silver I would suggest matey

I agree, silver or black on a red car. Might get away with red, but it has to be exactly the same red as the car or it may again not look right. Gotta say yellow calipers on a red car doesn't sound good, a bit too ketchup and mustard.........

If you PM sorted vti on here, he can provide them for you. I just took delivery of a set of curved, chrome decals for £8 which arrived within 2 days of payment. May as well keep it 'in-house' and help a fellow LoC member out :winky:

Nice finish on those - what paint did you use?

I used Hammerite smooth direct to rust metal paint dark blue, I scrubbed the calipers with a wire brush and some degreaser before painting on the advice of other guys on here who've done there's and would defo advise anyone thinking of painting there's to clean them 1st. :)
