Painted Calipers

[Doodlebug]

I have finally found the time to paint my calipers (well the front ones anyway I will do the rears another day) I decided to paint them black to go with the car. I have some Lexus decals to go on which I will do when the paint has fully cured. How easy are they to put on?

Also replaced the front pads with Mintex pads (courtesy of Prolex) while I was at it, just need to bed them in now.

:D :D

I found that the trickiest part with the stickers was removing the backing paper without the sticker sticking to the bit you want to take off if you know what I mean :duh:

Apart from that very easy:

"Warm" the caliper with a heat gun/hair dryer, and give the sticker a quick blast to activate the glue.

Offer the sticker up to the caliper and just "dab" one end so you can let go to see if you have aligned it properly (you will be able to see the logo through the paper)... this gives you a chance to remove and re-align if needed :winky:

Once happy, remove the last backing tape after you have rubbed the whole of the sticker home.

It's also recommended that you paint/spray the stickers with a clear laquer to give them that extra protection and sparkle :D B)
