Hey, fellas,
I have never introduced my 8 yet, since I bought it lol
It's not in great condition plus its dirty.
I will upload pics when car is in stunning shape.
But over the weekend, I have painted my calipers.
I have seen many threads here talking about... like "power coating" or "do it yourself" and what not.
I decided to do it myself, since I had to rotate tires anyways.

I bought brushed on paint fron advanced autopart, (dont use spray, it comes off easily) I got that and put 3 coats on.

Red caliper kit = 17 bucks
Time effort and my labor = 3 hours.
Great look on my 8 = PRICELESS

I def like this way WAY BETTER
Looks awesome, plus I have red interrior

Here are some pics Enjoy. (sorry they are huge, i didnt have time to resize it

What's the best/cheap way to get rid of rust on rotor?
I heard peopel saying buy this kit from dealership?

THanks

 

I painted the rotor rust black at the same time i painted my calibers red.

looks good, huge pics though haha

 

You need to add Polak's stencils, it will look 10x better.

 

It would look even better if you washed your wheels.


Sorry. I just had to do it.

 

They look great. I wish the photos were bigger though, had a hard time seeing them jk

Looks good. Next time you have your tires off paint the rotor hubs black or silver.

 

Nice.. Just resize the pic's..

 

Pity dial up users.

 

CLEAR CORNERS! Easy to install and cheap!

 

did it start peeling yet?

 

+1 For painting the hubs black on the brake rotors.

Red calipers look good with the black.

 

Got mine painted too

 

Looks good

 

Pimp.. I need mine painted.. Looks good on the VR. My color..

 

Looks good, just remove your front bumper and the strakes and you will be all set.

 

Bumper?

 

Yeah, I hate Veilside.

 

Oh, yea, thought you were talking about my stock bumper, which happens to have dozens of paint chips anyway...MS or Autobahn here I come!

 

I like mine, everyone's got diff taste. y'll know?

 

Yeah, some like you have bad taste and some like me have good taste J/K

 

hmmm I checked this paint out at Advanced's web site and the packaging and contents look IDENTICAL to G2 Caliper paint. I wonder if it is the same company and or quality at half the price of G2. How has it been holding up so far?

very good so far!

 

Nice. personally i would do the calipers black or silver.. the red stands out too much and the way its designed just doesn't seem to match. For EXAMPLE, the cut out part that shows the brake pads is blackish.. and looks weird, but to each his own

 

sick, mine is painted as well. Love the Veilside bumper

 

how do you clean all those rust that's built up around the rotors and axle?
