It doesn't matter you spray it or hand brush it, the paint itself does matter. Use hi-temperature resistant paint...

It looks nice in white color...but what color is ur car??

 

[artnet]

it will be very dirty la...
the brake dust will darken it...

my cousin's rim is white, he need to clean it very often
to make it stay white....

 

[blue_hippo]

It turns out great, for now. :)

I plan to do mine in the same color as the OEM, gold.

[fstr]

hmmm this arch calipers got something wrong :P :lol:

 

[Speedsm0ker]

hi all DIY sifus ...
can teach me step by step how to paint the calipers ar ? :D

 

[-ArChAng3L-]

thinking of changing the colour la

the gold of my calipers dont really match the gold of my rims
but i'm quite lazy to do it again :P


fstrader : what something wrong?
normal 1.3 calipers only mar :ph34r:

 

[GRexer]

arch, i think that blue would look good, coz gold on gold ain't striking, i'm going for a colour matched setup for my upcoming brakes, ditching the VR4 fronts for good :rolleyes:

Oh ya, wow... those are huge 1.3 brakes u have there, fits ngam ngam in 15" rims :P

 

[-ArChAng3L-]

eh?
yah meh?
when i bought my car proton gave me 15" steel rims and those brakes liao :ph34r:
