MonteCarloChick Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Did you paint or powdercoat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Did you "hang" the calipers and remove the caliper brackets or did you leave everything in place? Did the paint get "sticky" (thicken up) on you when you were applying it? Just wondering, 'cause when I painted mine, it was the end of July and humid as hell and the paint started to thicken on me. I thought that the high humidity was causing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Comeon CBad, you know I don't drive it in the winter.... Ya Jeremy, I can't wait to see what is looks like with the 077's on there.... Disco, ya, it thickened a little....but it was like ~55* in the shop i was in....so it didn't dry right away.....i did like 2.5 coats.... the first two were nice and thick and the last half was touch up.... I left them on the car, did NOT hang them......it actually looks good....but from ~1 ft away, if you look, you can see some parts where i went "outside the lines" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94CutlassSLCoupe Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 the calipers look good...but can you get some black spray bomb out to cover up those rusty brake pads??? I think that degrades the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabz Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 When you replace the pads, anyway you can prevent them from chewing up the paint? (front calipers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCGUY112887 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Why didn't ya paint the back the of the pads and such? Looks sorta funny with them having no paint on them... Would it be OK to paint there? Say in the red or a black... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 ya.....i'm thinkin about painting the pads black to get rid of the nasty rust on them.....someday, i'll do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 That'll look nice behind the 077's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
