The 4 pots were in need of a bit of TLC so treated them to a fresh coat of paint.
Black was always going to be the main colour but what about the lettering
Went for gold in the end what do you think?
My god dont you need a steady hand to paint the lettering





and now

 

Looking well nice . Ive just invested in some pots . Hoping to fit them soon.

looks quality Kev

Going to sort my calipers with black and silver before wheels go on mine this week

Cheers
Ian

 

spot on, goes really well with the wheels a blue peter trick for the lettering is to dab a sponge in the paint then press gently on to the calliper - now where did i put my b.p. gold badge

 

Looks much better, i painted my rear calipers and hubs last week.

 

Looking good there Kev, like em

Anthony

 

Thanks Guys I painted the backs as well but did not take any pic's
I used a cotton bud to paint the lettering it was very tricky and needed a drink afterwards
Now the wife is looking everywhere for her cotton buds

 

very smart, good job you have done too.

 

Looks nice Kev lucky you did not have a drink before you started

 

looks very nice,

I used a small gloss roller on my old calipers when I did them, took about 30 seconds and came up a treat.

Couldn't be arsed to do them again so bought brembo's instead!!!!

I was goner do my rears yesterday but ended up plasterboarding the garage ceiling!!!!!!

 

I did think about using MDF and sticky tape

 

Missed a bit

Looks great Kev..... colours all work a treat together

 

Nicely done, I used a piece of tissue screwed into a point to do the letters......

 

A little brush and a dibber are the tools for a proper job

 

Kev thats done by Alloy Wheel cleaner bud Bad news.

 

Dont use the nasty stuff anymore

 

Thats either a very small brush or a very large dibber

 

The brush is for the lettering and the dibbers to rest one's arm on

Clicky

 

Is there nothing you dont have?

 

I have many strings to my bow number one

 

lend me a few

 

Can you play Greensleaves for me then......

 

Blimey we've all been at it!!!!! my rears we're in a need of a coat of paint, tarted up the hub of my new Godspeed disc's whilst I had the wheel off

started off looking like this


painted the hubs black


painted the caliper gold




Repainted the nuts whilst they were off, turned out quite nice.






all ready for the welsh motor show now

 

Danny, where did you get the Gold paint? is it a good match for the brembo colour??

 

It's Hammerite, gold hammered finish, I'm going to test it on the brembo's tomorrow as I've a couple of small chip's, I'll let you know or you can have a look on thursday

 

Sorry guys but Criss did ask

 

They look great Danny

I take it you don't have that strange braking noise now ??

 

Done mine in black hammerite smooth just to get rid of the rusty look for now.

My Spoiler was fitted friday and the splitter yesterday. Today i painted the mesh in my front bumper black again to get rid of all the stone chips and went round the car touching up all the little marks and chips with some paint they gave when i had the bits painted.

Going to give it a good clean tomorrow and then i'll post some pic's up.

Danny i'll have a look at yours to see what the colours like on Thursday.

 

All sorted now, I can't for the life of me think why there was a constant grinding from the rear brakes!!!!!




There must be atleast 10 miles left in the pads!!!!! reminds me of my tyres, talk about getting my money's worth!!!!!!!
