Painted my calipers today!

Pretty easy now lets see how long it last !

 

What did you use? Where did you purchase?

 

Looks pretty good! Should definitely post up what you did for others.

I used a Dupli color kit. Any Car parts store or walk mart has it!

 

Looks Great!!

 

Looks good, use clear coat if you want it to last.

 

Looks great photoboi. A very clean job.
Did you pull apart the caliper and remove the pads before painting? I have a G2 paint kit ordered so if you could offer any tips it would be great

 

No I masked off the parts that didn't need to have or get paint on it. Did a few coats till looked nice and smooth. Paint dried fast within 20 min after 2-3 hrs they had a nice and red candy coated feel and really surprised me on how good they looked. I would say its was pretty easy just take your time..

 

He are those Rimblades on your wheels, the red stuff around the edges? I bought some for my wheels but haven't put them on yet.

 

Yes !

 

Any tricks/tips to the installation of these? Looks like you push the far edge as far toward the tire as you can and fold the near edge onto the wheel. I wish it were the same red as the little JCW outline on the wheel. (I have JCW wheels too).

 

yep thats the only hard thing is to not have a gap I'm trying to figure out a solution to that to fill the gap the red is pretty close

 

By gap do you mean the little slit between the ends? In the instructions it said to put a tidy bit extra length on and shove the ends apart, and shove then together.

 

they settle and move back
