Looks good mate. Just dont want too much red with having a red car. But yours look good. I thought gold would be different.

Nath i got em from a guy on the other site ahem...... same guy i got my vxr seats off

Just have them powder coated and be done with it

you can get it in gold mate ,if you put the time in they do come out good and all for a tenner ,powder coating is the best way ,but then you will need a seal kit too

is hammerite any good for brake calipers. i hear about people using it, but how is it with the heat etc?? is rather use a proper caliper paint, but if hammerite is good and will last, i may use that

Hammerite is fine matey

hammerwright will look **** mate ,and if you paint them with that you will have a nightmare to strip it off again ,go to bq as i said if you put the time in they come out great

Mine were painted using normal Halfords spray paint. Nothing special and then lacquered over thanks to Ant. Ive had them on now nearly 7 months and when theyre clean they still look like they've been freshly done

got some japlac cheers rick, was the only one that seemed to be anywhere near the colour i wanted. been trying to strip the paint off all afternoon, used half a tin of nitro mors and its hardly touched it. has anyone got any ideas how i can remove the old paint?? and what to use to clean them up proper prior to painting???
