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 :)

Not as dark as the tin indicates unfortunately ...

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

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.

so where can you get hammerite paint?i heard u dont have to add hardener or anything else to it, sounds easier.

i bought foliatek paint from Carnoisseur, performance store, they dont seem to sell hammerite.

now i want some toyota/lexus stickers to go with it.

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

[Guest mark_tsang]

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.
