second round of pics...painted brakes...

[kharman]

a couple of weeks ago i posted pics of the painted calipers promising to post the rear drums when they were done...here they are, with some pics of my newly installed magnaflow...

[kharman]

well, i had resized those...sorry about that...sheesh...

Looking sharp, man! I can't wait to get my paint so I can do mine.

[kharman]

the paint used is by dupont ( i think i told you that before, i'm not sure)...you can see it a little in the pic, but it really has a nice gloss to it...

The calipers look good, but I wouldnt have done the drums. A bit ricey.

[kharman]

it took three hours total because three coats were used...not long for the actual application though...Quote, originally posted by ArcsVibe »How long did it take you to do this? Was it hard?BTW it looks really good

at first i just did the calipers...but it looked really stupid without the drums painted, the car didn't look balanced...Quote, originally posted by rAERRK »The calipers look good, but I wouldnt have done the drums. A bit ricey.

[kharman]

it is an auto...and there are no rear calipers as the rear brakes are drum...

I painted this weekend my galipers and drums (pictures are coming, just wainting for the springs to be installed to finish my 35mm, develop it, scan pics and then post them). The galipers in blue are really cool, but for the drums, I don't like the looks it gives, plus it's not the same blue as my car. Next time, I'll use red, or keep blue for galipers and use black for drums.
