i done mine nearly 2 years ago and to be fair they still look the same ,to finish them off use stainless bleed nipples [IMG]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r162/maydew/car2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r162/maydew/car.jpg[/IMG] |
Looks ace mate,i will give em a go as im a panel man / painter so that bits easy its just stripping em off and fitting em back on mate and not havIng it on road thats a pain.
|
i used nitromors ,just mask the seals off , cocktail sticks come in handy to get into the corners and just spend the time getting them clean,
i didnt use a base/clear coat as if/when they get chipped its a pain to match up, so i used this high temp gloss black and its got a slight tint of metallic but easy to touch up if needed. |
They do look very good in black, might have to do that myself and I like the idea of stainless bleed nipples.
Whats the best way to clamp of the brake hoses when using braided lines ?? |

Where were the stailess steel bleed nipples from mate ? Was thinking something like charcoal grey metalic alloys with red callipers but im defo not decided yet.
|
i nearly went white wheels but 40mins before due to be powder coated i bottled it lol i got a bit of ocd so the white would drive me insane lol.

Thanks maydew for the links mate,do they just do black in those rattle cans ? I havent had a propper look yet.
|
seems they do mate,i am not the biggest of fans of the rattle cans but to be honest i had no issues what so ever with these finish and paint coverage is a1 even after 2 years .
heres link to other colours http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/usauto1997....c0.m270.l1313 |
Those white ones look amazing, but I bet there a right PITA to keep clean!
|
I think its contrast that looks good,one colour caliper and wheel looks dull really imo,ive got gold and gold atm so fancy a change.
Maydew: you've got just as good a finish as a spray gun mate as its not too big a substrate i think i'll use one myself if they do the right colour bud. |
