Shall i just take it to a garage and get them do it so it looks better? the brembo is like in the metal on the calibers so it would look odd with decals on.. dunno what to do.

You could do them yourself if you're confident enough to do them, search around there must be a guide some place. you could always get decals done so you can still see the logo. If not take the car to a sprayer rather than a garage. Where in the Midlands are you? I might know a place. I quite like the silver as they are tho. :) Shippo 26-11-2008, 21:40:41 Yellow does look good with the blue But How you do it depends how confident you are and your budget theres brembo decals about and there cheap enough to have and try http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc39/225shippo/swancar1.jpg small pic but you can get an idea (not my car) hallett 27-11-2008, 19:09:05 we are doing ours yellow now. it is easy, pot of yellow hammerite and a 0.5" paint brush, job done all for about £7 sy 27-11-2008, 19:16:27 lets see some pics when done from close up and far away :-) Naith 27-11-2008, 19:19:57 we are doing ours yellow now. it is easy, pot of yellow hammerite and a 0.5" paint brush, job done all for about £7 will last about a month tho, the paint just ends up bonding with the dust through all the heat cycles if i can afford it, mine are defo gettin powder coated hallett 27-11-2008, 19:50:15 will last about a month tho, the paint just ends up bonding with the dust through all the heat cycles if i can afford it, mine are defo gettin powder coated has already started happening, all i do is give them a scrub and they come up a treat R55VYS 28-11-2008, 11:04:43 the yellow brake calliper paint from halfrods is spot on, done mine with it a few yr back aint cracked or fadded at all, and you get some spray to clean the brake dust off to. dead easy to do to. although the brush you get in the pack is crap. liam(255) 13-12-2008, 09:01:17 hi i've just painted mine and i managed to get stickers from the internet(EBAY :)) and they look factory fitted. liam(255) 13-12-2008, 09:06:36 forgot to put pic.sorry it not good quality was taken on a phone. http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee322/liam225/Image007.jpg ClaneO 13-12-2008, 18:17:57 looks pretty good mate, are they R26.R decals? liam(255) 15-12-2008, 18:33:52 no i made them myself. | |
