Took longer than I would have wanted but I think it came out pretty well considering I could not see after breaking my glasses!! I think it will look better once I get to drive a bit. I gotta get rid of that rotor rust build up that happens after our cars sit for a few days.

Claytone

looks good, can you take a picture from further back? that way we can see how well it stands out or blends in from a normal viewing distance. thanks

flewbyu

Yeah, it's kinda hard to do because I was taking the after pics with my phone. The before pic were with a regular camera. ( I dont have that camera anymore)

Here is a snap shot taking with a video camera today but its still hard to see on film and so easy to see in person, weird. When I pan in close it does not show up as well. I will get a another digital camera one of these days... I'll work on it!

Well, you finally did it...not bad huh?

flewbyu

Ya know it went really well Tpony. Had no issues at all, (except my glasses breaking) like you I jumped right on with the second coat. Mannnnn, that stuff is STRONG smelling! I was like woah, I had to turn a fan on to blow it out the garage while I was working before I passed out. lol I was surprised it turned out as shiney as it did.

Anyway on a side note, I am getting her Dynoed Tuesday so I will post the results when I get back.

Take care and thanks again! Let me know if I can help you out in the future.

Looks great. Which caliper paint kit did you go with for this?

flewbyu

did u take them off or just mask arond them also do they have u sand or scuff them so the paint will stick

flewbyu

There is no need to take them off, they say that clearly in the instructions. Just tape around them. Also, no need to scuff, etc. This is a specific heat caliper paint that is made for this purpose. It sticks perfectly and shines like it came from the factory.

Most people run into problems because they try to use "regular" paint so it flakes and all that due to heat, etc. That is the wrong kind to use and you would need to do all that scuff work with that kind of paint.


The pic is bad, I could not post another one because I dont have the camera anymore. Looks much better and glossy in person.
