Just painted my calipers

[Hamburger]

me noticed tat centre spigot got no caps or logos on it.Is tat e IN thingy now

[Circuit]

my superleggs oso no centre caps...

cos broken off... i think a lot of pple dun put cos its pretty expensive for a small cap.

 

mine for 2 pc the clip broken. and even second hand needs ard 12-15 buck... imagine a plastic thingy cost up till 70 there per set !

 

then 1 missing , i rather totally dun put .. and forget it. more matching .

 

anyway nowadays pple scare rims stolen etc, 2 of my rims got small rashes not really noticable unless inspect

.. and with "no branded" real superleggs

i feel safer for my rims not to be targeted. be it in MY or SIN

[Hamburger]

actually it look kind of sporty.me 1 2 take it off too

Yep... The paint doesn't completely dry and will wrinkle due to the hot surface. I just drove back-n-forth between Spore and Msia. The paint has started to wrinkle but without looking closely, the calipers still look damn nice.

 

Think I will leave it as it is. Maybe may consider buying high temp paint and get Soh Bro to repaint at same cost? See how.

 

Can forget abt putting decals now.

Hi:

something like this (attached image)?

hi, are those aftermarket calipers, or stock calipers with cover, or just painted stock caliper with decal?

 

i'm actually thinking of getting brembo caliper cover then repaint and paste decal then fix on

Nicely done bro.. DIY? Is it high temp paint?

[Shox87]

lovely set of calipers bro. how did u manage to get the "LEXUS" wordings on the calipers?

 

the words on the calipers are reallie outstanding.

 

 

[Shox87]

nice job too bro. chio!

 

u DIY everything urself?

[Shox87]

bro, ur red calipers look good ok ur ride i muz say.

 

jus wondering,whether are u gonna do the "LEXUS" wordings on ur calipers as well?

 

im thinking of doing that as well. looks goood(btw, my ride isn't LEXUS, haha)

[Crusader75]

Yup, I DIY...

Nope... normal spray paint... high temp spray paint only comes in boring colors like Black, Silver, Red...

 

I use better quality spray paint though... Nippon Pylox.

Yar I DIYed... took quite a number of days to slowly layer the paint and let each layer dry...

[Shox87]

so i assume u've gotta remove ur tyres and ur calipers to do the paint job right?

[Crusader75]

I did the spraying before installing the brakes... if the brakes are on the car already, it will be quite a pain...

 

And yes... you need to remove your wheels if the brakes are already installed... but the calipers can leave it on... just have to stick newspaper all over to make sure the paint does not go to where it is not intended to...

U're driving a Beemer? :-)

 

May not put any words on the calipers due to the wrinkle on the paint. May do so if I choose to repaint my calipers next time.

10bucks for 1 rear rims repair!!! really cheap n good! ^^

Frankie didnt do it himself (no need the master LOL)

He got his assistant to do it, another skinny uncle, very kind and friendly also.

I did notice the shop opposite his shop has very high traffic flow (got many many cars go for repairs, even Johor cars!)

But if its me, I think i will still go to Soh Tyre for its friendly service

:)
