I'll have to wait til the owner installs them.

I'm thinking of painting my tiny winy 2.5i calipers where do you guys get your paint from? i found this website
http://www.vhtpaint.com/products/caliperpaint/
any others worth noting?

[bigBADbenny]

There's a few how tos' on the forum, some were using kilrust.
As for stockers, very impressive results are possible!
Inspiration from page 1:


Tempted to do mine like that, but maybe silver top, gold lower... or vice versa???

I use VHT a bit as it dries quick and once cured is fairly resistant to brakefuid.

Those white ones are done in White Knight epoxy enamel. Takes a fair while longer to dry but once cured is very tough.

Killrust Epoxy enamel is the same as the White Knight.

VHT can be bought from Bursons, Autobarn, etc and Whiteknight and Killrust from Bunnings.

Just got these bad boys in the mail. Thinking of painting the calipers a similar colour to the work wheels valve...
Anodised blue ish green. Sort of project mu colour. What do you think?.....

Man these things are big, 370mm rotors dont leave a heap of clearance for wheel weights

Augo where's your Member Profile thread !

PS AWESOME PPS you need to make one...

[3rspecb]

awesome, you going to do the rears too?

[augo]

Thanks fellas!
Haven't started a build thread yet, there's really been nothing to see yet, Still waiting on guards to get rolled, dump pipe etc.
Should start coming together soon.
I like the colour of the alcons, sort of a gold/silver looks pretty race.
Still thinking an anodised blue/green would look pretty trick?....

Yeah will probably do the rears as well, hoping the front doesn't put too much bias on it for now

@ cruisn : silly question but do WRX 4 pots fit your rear adapters? (just for extra blinginess)

WRX four pots are front calipers and don't need an adapter to fit to a GEN IV. Also the WRX 4pots use a smaller rotor (294mm) then the Stock GT/3r setup up (316mm)

[bigBADbenny]

Right so WRX 4 pots cannot be fitted to the rear, with or without adapters?
I warned you about the silliness...
I was looking at pics of a Supra with Brembo 4pots front and rear, given the size difference between AP/Brembo fronts and WRX 4 pots, the brake bias shouldn't be too off, assuming they even fit...

Id go the Project Mu color.

Anythings possible, but my adapters are strictly rear calipers only Ben.
