Has anyone from Glasgow/Paisley had their callipers painted professionaly or at least so they look decent?
If so how much am i looking at to get this done?
Has anyone got any pics of a Alabaster Silver with painted callipers they can show me? any colour
Ive got the sky blue fog protectors from on the guy on here so im thinking blueish to go with them but im not certain just looking for a bit of advice what will look best and to see some on a silver car as mostly only saw red on black.
How long did it take you to do all 4 yourself? i recon i could persuade a mate to help me out if i gave him some beer in exchange to speed up the cleaning part
I never even thought to do it myself but urs look great.. i love the colour also i might end up copying u haha hope u dont mind! the blue center caps on ** alloys are a nice touch aswell where did you get them if you dont mind me asking?
How difficult was the removal before painting/getting them back on?
what paint do you need to do this yourself? Is it just a case of remove the caliper, clean it up then apply the chosen paint with a brush, dry and refit?
I used Halfords caliper paint. Give them a clean with a wire brush attached to a drill and some caliper cleaner (also from Halfords) and give them a couple of coats. Simples
Also a good idea to get a very generous friend to clean your wheels inside out whilst they are off the car....
You can also use normal primer, paint and lacquer that you could get from halfrauds.
Mask out the bits you don't want painting then off you go - obviously after cleaning them off
I done mines green myself too.. Just mask off round about You, rub them with wire brush then spray.. A thought I had a pic but can't find it and don't think you can see it in this pic either .. Sorry

You can just see it if you zoom in.
