Washe, Waxed and painted calipers

[smitchell1]

I thought id take advantage of the good weather over the weekend and do something iv been putting off for ages.........painting my calipers and giving the wheels a good clean!!

I decided to go from red to a much more subtle gold colour.

So here they are with a few random pics after a 4hr clean, clay and wax!!

Nice mate, What paint did you use on the plastic engine case?

 

[BREMBO]

Nice one, will be doing the same too mine but will just go silver/black for the calipers me thinks

 

[smitchell1]

Yeh was thinking of either black or silver but wanted them to be a bit different without being as in your face as red!!!

Nice mate, What paint did you use on the plastic engine case?

I used a plasti-kote clear primer once it was sanded down and then I used 4 coats of plasti-kote metalic paint in blue but you can get loads of different colours!!
