Pics of my painted calipers (off the car)
Pictures are in my sig
What do you think? Took me like 3 weeks to do this
Not that I couldn't have done it in 3 or 4 days, but I mean my car is stored and it's freezing out. So days to go outside and paint are kinda few and far between.
-Cleaned up the surface with a wire brush and some laquer(sp?) and then tapped off everywhere that I didn't want painted. (This step took a whole day alone)
-I then used up about 1 and 1/4 can of red VHT (Very High Temp.) Caliper paint. Not sure how many coats exactly because I start off by very lightly dusting, letting it dry, then again and again untill I have a nice base and then I put about 3 or 4 coats on. So if I counted each of those as a coat.. I would have about 15 coats
-I finished up with about 3 coats of engine enamel clear coat.
I also did not use any primer. I could not find any high temp specified so I figured it be better to not use any.
