nice job! what paint did you use?

 

Good pics man, but they remind me of...

 

nice job, is that your garage?

 

I wish!

It's a local autoshop 'Goldwing' here in Ottawa.

 

nice job, I am just not sure I antto bring attention the the calipers on the RX-8. They have to be the worse looking calipers I have ever seen

 

VHT

 

How about outside pics of the whole car.

 

nice job i really like how clean your install looks using my decals. What paint did you use?

They work well for you?

 

I've yet to get delivery of my RX8 (June or July), but do the AT & MT/TypeS come with different brake calipers?

 

nice plug :D

 

very nice job...anxious to see how it contrasts with the yellow car...

 

I try.

 

The paint was VHT.

The inspiration was your work, but given our time frame we actually created our own decals using the plotter at the shop. My car was the first one done at the shop with such a treatment and they are now going to offer it as a custom service.

 

VHT is good
I used it on mine about six months ago and it is holding up well

 

i really have to get off my lazy **** and paint mine... i've been meaning to do it for about 6 months now....

 

doing mine tomorrow (well today actually)....my bday present to myself....

 

I'll do mine in a couple of hours ;-)

I hope to see some pics of your job, Pinhy.

 

And here is the result :D

 

And thanks to PoLak for the decals and the idea

 

My decal looks so much better then the one that the shop cut on their plotter, Go ME!

Glad that order got to Switzerland I thought I hadn't given it enough postage
.

 

In fact, they came pretty quickly ! (something like 3 days after ordering)
I was really surprise myself !

 

Polak does have the best decals. I just finished mine in red on my Sunlight Silver. ---with G2 paint, and it looks incredible, really makes the car. It's like a great accent piece. I'll post pics within a few days, when it is light out.

 

For those in the Phila Tri-State Area, Mark (Polak) will be selling is wonderful creations at our May 23rd Meet-up!

 

Question: I have noticed that when everyone paints their calipers they only paint the metal parts leaving what looks to be a gap b/w those two parts. What would happen if we painted the whole thing including that gap, so that it looked like one big caliper instead of two seperate parts? Is it bad for the brakes?

I ask because when I had my Infiniti I painted the calipers black, but when I did so, I just painted the whole thing. All I did was cover the rotors so I wouldn't get any overspray on them and then I was done. No problems to speak of either. Thanks in advance for your help.
