Mas Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thanks Guys, I first painted them with the actual caliper paint (which is in a very ugly blue colour) then I used the paint I had from when I painted my dash so gave it a colour coded look, then those Decals and I applied a few coats of laquer on top to make sure it will stay there for a while.

dangerous brain Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hope the extra coat you put on doesn't melt or crack dude. Theres a reason the caliper paint is expensive and thats because its heat resistant otherwise you could just use any paint. I look forward to being wrong though.

imi Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Good colour that, looks quite nice. No wonder I have mine black, goes well with a black car. I find Red on a black car look too ricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 You may have fun taking the pins out to change the pads if you painted over them too I speak from experience Looking good matey. I was in two minds with supra, or brembo, on mine, decided for a change and went for brembo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mas Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thank guys, glad you liked them;) Hope the extra coat you put on doesn't melt or crack dude. Theres a reason the caliper paint is expensive and thats because its heat resistant otherwise you could just use any paint. I look forward to being wrong though. Cheers mate, but as mentioned earlier I first used the caliper paint and as it was wrong blue colour had to use the left oever pain I had from before. had them on for 3 weeks now and no paint flakes yet , I only finished off the job today with sticking the SUPRA decals and another coat of laquer on top of them as I had to leave the paint to dry .

dangerous brain Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 There is a guy on here sells shiny metal decals for brakes. Big ones for UK spec and smaller ones for the J-Spec brakes. I can't remember his name though. I have a set sat around somewhere. Not much use to me when I polished the rest of the caliper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was Michael G? maybe wrong tho as it was a very long time ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Is there any pic of the decals you guys talking about? The decals I have on mine are the closest to the original Supra ones and took me a while to find them but I think it goes very good with the paint.
