nice. they look great!

what size brembo stickers did you use?

 

i wanna do a chameleon gold with neo gold lugs

 

 

Looks good! What's everyone's opinion with painting the rear calipers? Ghey or not ghey?

Debating if I should only paint my brembos or do all of them.

 

i was thinking the same thing. i plan on painting my brembos within the next couple weeks and was thinking of doing my rear brakes the same color as my brembos.

might look kinda tachy having them be the uglyish metal color

 

I was thinking the other way around. I was thinking it would look tacky to paint the rear calipers. After all, they are a different colour from the brembos from the factory.

 

ill post pics in a few, i did all 4

 

yea,thats true haha

im going to paint mine. not sure on the color yet.

 

this is the only pic I have of all 4, I used the G2 in red

 

Here are the 3 sets I have done.

My latest car done in Black Pearl Ceramic:


My sedan that was done in Iron Coat Ceramic


My 08 SS with Silver Ceramic:

 

the bottom one looks awesome

 

thanks, the Black Pearl tho is by far my fav, here is close-up pic:

 

So you had them pcd? Did you have to rebuild them?

 

probably the last picture of mine green. hopefully painting them saturday

 

What color are you going with? I'm debating whether
I should paint or pc mine

 

grabber blue

check out g2 caliper paint, its brush on but dries nice and smooth. and it holds up real well.

 

^is that what you used? i'm thinking of painting mine as well (just lsj calipers) and considering whether i should take mine off and clean the **** out of em and paint em or buy used/new calipers and send em off to get pc'd

 

yeah thats what i used for the green and bought it again. all you have to do its clean your brakes and brush away, dont even really need to tape anything.

 

haven't seen any airbrushed calipers yet, so I guess im gonna work on that soon. either black and white covered in skulls or I may digi camo em...

 

well yours look like they came out great (i had thought they were pc'd they looked so good)

so i bought a kit for red

 

i never knew the brush on kit could look so good!

i always thought they went on kind of thick,not looking all that great.

may have to look into this.

 

Well i took bpacaks word and got the g2 paint system.

Took me about three hours from jacking up, cleaning, masking and painting.

Overall i think i did good as possible i didnt miss any spots and there is no paint where it shouldnt be. The paint looks nice and as brent said, does smoothen out pretty nicely. Keep in mind these are lsj brakes though, and hence have a rough surface.

The red did turn out just a ****hair brighter than i wanted but its not half bad.

 

Looks good!

 

for the guys running g2 paint. How do you protect the brembo decal itself? Can you use a clear over g2 paint.... I heard it's not recommended.

 

Just a sticker to put over the paint.
