Painted Me Calipers (56k beware)

[makavelli]

good choice of colour...if a little late to the party.

:rasp:

just wait till you see the dash inserts, side badges and front reno badge

 

[Christopher]

haha, good stuff mate. that's commitment for ya. :approve:

my shed will look a bit different for the fcs too.

 

[ukaskew]

Damn this temptation, I quite fancy doing mine now (beauty is they can always be redone in black if its real bad I guess), blue on a 172 Cup?!

 

[pecan]

I was thinking of doing mine in silver. That pic of the Cup with silver calipers earlier in the thread look s**t hot.

 

[Tyson-182]

Looks very nice!

Tyson.

 

[djchewy]

was gonna do myn with the stuff from halfords, but if hammerite works then i'll just use that

 

[Dan@SJM]

is that freebones special silver ontop of red to make yellow paint?

 

[_Kenny_]

very nice! Doubt I'll get this job done for FCS, got a few other things needing done first!

 

[Serg]

have to say i think the yellow on blue looks spot on. Before i didnt think it would but seeing it, it looks good.

 

[JoelDee]

Looks sooo much better bud

 

[Cupster]

Yeah the flat blue and flat yellow look cool.

 

[Aust1n]

Not to my liking.. maybe if they were black or something

aslong as you like it though..

not done my rears yet as i was thinking the same thing - might just do them black so they dont stand out.

goes well with the viper caf intake.

pondering doing the 2.0 badges on the side the same red? :S

 

[pecan]

Don't.

 

[ant]

probably wont.

 

[Aust1n]

Could be interesting...^^... I would keep a spare set of badges handy though.. lol.

you can get fake brembo covers iirc but they are gash!
its best to paint standard calipers or buy some coloured calipers (expensive option)

a tin of hammerite is a fiver btw

is painting them the only way to get them coloured or can you buy caps that go straight on your calipers???

 

[ant]
