is the s2000 bit a sticker?
yeh its a vinyl
whre did u get it from or did u make them? :)
i bought mine from ebay uk
Looks great!!!
I recently bought a 2nd hand car and the previous driver had the calipers painted too.
He literally took off the wheel, grabbed a spray can and started spraying the caliper. Even the disc hub and brake lines had paint on it.... lol noob
looks very nice papa...................
that sicker is good send me a link to the ebay page where u bought the sticker please...
Hmmm are those vinyls and clear coat heat resistant? was going get mine done with industrial grade heat resistant powder coats... but dont have spare car...
looks very nice, LOL @ conan
yeh i sanded, steel brushed them and cleand them with a degreaser
i then used a septone red caliper paint:

after 4 layers of that i used a VHT clear gloss:

and after 3 layres of that i got my the final result
its pretty easy to do i did one side (front and back calipers in 3 hours) but the gloss takes overnight to dry
thats alot of layers there boss. turned out a treat though! is the vinyl heat hesistant though? any chance of the s2000 vinyl melting?
