The rear wheels dont have breakes. All Im doing is painting the brakes which are on the front wheels only.

Unless I miss understand what you meant.

i do understand what u mean. u dont have discs at the back. if u paint them silver, it looks cool at the back

Ah so your sayin paint the discs silver (front n back I guess) and the brake calibers on the front red.

Only noticed it since I got alloys that the discs look like a round rust plate. Cause my dads car has cool silver ones.

Any prices? Or places you think I should get a good deal from? For the red paint? Or silver, I'l see what I can do for that one.

Cause surly one tin will do the red, and hopefully 1 tin wil do the discs, but maybe two.

Um...

How easy is it to paint em? How long to dry? What about rust?

Help!

Thx

Eh? Are you talking about painting discs? Surely you mean calipers.

Drums and calipers can be painted, just leave the cars on axle stands for a while until the paint dries. Paint won't cost too much, and you need to get rid of the rust before you paint using some sanding paper and brake cleaner.

please dont paint your drums (unless its black)!

Its like saying 'look at me, my braking capabilities are inferior to yours'! - why advertise something you haven't got!

lol. what colour do u reckon 4 fronts?

KarlM · Post by **KarlM** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 1:55 pm

any really. Red (Polo GTi) or Green (Fabia vRS) for that oe look.

if its a black car then silver would definatly work (but only for the fronts!

)
