96sz Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thought i would smarten up my brakes while i save up for UK specs. Some Hammerite smooth black, gold on the discs, and a set of E-Bay brake decals and i think it looks quite tidy:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hmm that looks alright, can't decide what colour to paint mine, although like you, I will be going for UK brakes eventually, I was thinking yellow, or maybe purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopgunTT Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Gold is always a good choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 is hammerite paint 'heat resistant',as you can imagine a lot of heat generated through the brakes.[won't catch fire]? as caliper paint is heat resistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity_south Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 look good, i too am wondering what colour to do mine though i already have uk spec ones and the clearance on the wheels isnt all that so will only be a very fine layer of paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Used it on Uk brakes on my old Supra without any problems and i think a few others have used it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexJames Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I have j-spec brakes on my TT, which decals do I need? small ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96sz Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have j-spec brakes on my TT, which decals do I need? small ones? Yes, its the small ones from Ubernine on the e-bay link shown earlier. Just tell them you need J-spec, they do know the difference. Can do different colours as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
