Amazing work Mark and how long has it taken you to do a pair?

[rooby]

Hopefully you're charging by the hour.

[HoFF]

That's a hell of nice finish mark.

[HyRax]

Are there any Brembo stickers going on them as well?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. Ive done 3, just a front to go.

Hopefully you're charging by the hour.

Unfortunately not. I am getting paid to do it though as Im doing it at work.

Yes, red.

What's the process to get to that level of finish? Flapper disc -> 800 wet/dry -> 1200 wet/dry -> stitched mop polish??
Are you using a clearcoat afterwards? would cleacoat even stick to the polished surface?

Still trying to decide what to do with my Brembos.....

Blood, sweat, tears and an outpouring of obsessive compulsive disorder...

Aversion therapy is working!

Not even brake dust will stick

Biggest issue is finding a set of wheels (oh and a car...) to match.

Sandblast.
Scotchbrite wheel to get rid of most sandblast divets.
Hand sand 360 wet/dry all other divets out of areas that the wheel can get into.
Hand sand 600 wet/dry.
Buffing wheel and polishing compound.
Alloy clear.
Decal.

Lime green calipers / black decals to match your foggies.

Has anyone had a set of Brembos done in the STi pink/red? Was considering this for my wagon, everything black except pink badges and brakes!

[cruisn]

I was asked about doing this the other day for someone with exactly the same setup, black wheels, black car.

IMHO, it would look a bit gay.

I suggested a darker red.

I'm just as excited to see lime green as you are to paint them Mark..

And yes, all black with pink calipers, badges & wheel nuts

Sounds like your Lib's going to be emo!


Would it be a sin to powdercoat beautiful blue cusco sways & stuff to another color to match??
