Thanks!
Thanks for all the comments and tips. I just ordered everything that I will need and I am looking forward doing this over the Christmas weekend. Will post pictures after I am done. :dance:

Just found this video at the Duplicolor web-site that shows how to paint the calipers with their product. Hope this helps:

i used that kit the 1st time i painted my calipers. that little jar painted red calipers on 5 cars, and still have paint left over. i would only suggest going to a art store or elsewhere and get nice brushes, as the one they supply is little too rough and falls apart. heres a before aand after pic when i had old wheels/caliper color/lug nuts http://i8.tinypic.com/6kgijy9.jpg and currently, yellow, sprayed not brushed on http://i7.tinypic.com/6ufjr7p.jpg |
Thanks. Any opinions on the brushes and/or the clear coat I should buy?
|
just some nice fine brushes, the ones they give you are reallllly cheap. thats all.
and for clearcoat, i didnt use any, and it doesnt ask for one. once you apply a few coats it shines right up and its nice and glossy |
Here are some pictures as promised
I spent my Christmas weekend painting the calipers and while doing it I figure I might as well also paint the lug nuts as some of them are all rusty. :dance:

More pictures
