chazuk Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Finished the shuts, this coming weekend I will do behind the doors and underneath of boot / bonnet then I can bolt these back on and thats my bit of the painting done. I went over onto the body on purpose by a couple of mm just so when the car is rubbed down with the boot and doors back the shut /spray line is covered so no thin sliver line will appear. http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/2791/dsc01681ak.jpg http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/5927/dsc01699v.jpg http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/2347/dsc01687u.jpg http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/7757/img00038201006050938.jpg http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/7233/dsc01706po.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/8572/img00037201006042035.jpg http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7582/dsc01705ub.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazuk Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Looking good What type of paint have you used on the calipers? Cheers mate , same as the car really used a primer , then basecoat white, then 2 k clear lacquer. I have always done it this way in the past and the paint has never come off due to heat , good thing is with the clear coat the brakedust does not eat into the colour and its easy to clean.
