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.

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

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.
