Can you use normal lacquer mate or does it have to be special heat resistant lacquer?

 

Not sure mate, got mine done by a bodyshop but if you can use hammerite then I don't see why not - depends on how much abuse you give them and therefore the heat generated

 

I found a heat proof laquer and paid a few quid for decals off ebay, they do any colour.

 

May change again to white this time??

 

Where's the Yellow Brembo's then, I know there's a set out there or at least there used to be

 

That's very nice indeed.

 

Good old AP 6 pot in red.





Black with gold lettering.

 

Nice fella

 

Just carbon dipped a set of rs focus calipers , they looked mint and are currently being tested for longevity before we embark on doing it more wide spread , mine will be camo dipped as soon as I get time ;-) , will get pics up as soon as I can

 

Carbon dipped? What does that look like?

 

im not so sure that would last too long as its essentially a sticker and depending on how you drive the heat would kill it.
does look good though.

 

It's not a sticker at all TT ! It's a print effect which transfers into the basecoat prior to final/clear coat , it makes no impact on the longevity of the paint or lacquer and high temp base and final coat was used ;-) , so far the rs has covered circa 1k miles inc track days and they are holding out spot on !

Regards to the looks , it's a subtle but very effective finish. They look black until your up close and then you realise the finish .

 

awesome, if it holds up to hot temperatures it will sell loads.
i have seen some wheels domne in it and it looks great.

 

Pics pls
Also how much and where did you get it done?

 

The pics are on the owner of the rs's camera , should be meeting up with him this weekend coming so will get hem then ,
As for price not sure really as I did them mate lol ,

nice

 

That's he plan mate , doing a few test pieces on areas where heat could be a problem and so far so good , i've done various parts under my bonnet which have been done for ages now and still look like new
