got bored this week and wanted to smarten up my car some how so i:

1) rubbed down my old grille badge and sprayed it matt black!
i think it looks pretty good



2) painted my calipers red



3) rubbed down my drums and sprayed them with high temperature black paint




these few cheap mods really smarten the car up and the badge looks really good!

i like it quite a lot.. nice work how long did it take for your calipers to dry? im going to do mine tomorrow.

well done mate. good job there. very simple but makes all the difference! simple stuff like this shows you take care of your car. Taking the time out for that proves it.

nice work! very effective little mods there mate

i used hammerite paint and it dried pretty quick i drove it an hour after painting but did put three coats on on consecutive days

hi
how did you do your badge? i really like it!

Very brief rundown.

You just have to rub the badge with some wet and dry, a rough grade is the best on the grille badges, then use some plastic primer on it.

It's up to you if you rub that down or not (with some fine wet and dry) then spray it with your chosen colour. (2-3 coats of primer and paint are best, making sure it's dry between each one)

The chrome bit can be split from the big black bit behind it, there's loads of bits on the back that hold it on, use a small flathead screwdriver to do that, it's fiddly but it means you don't spray anything you don't want

Following in your footsteps I did a bit of caliper painting




Fitted my Kamei Door Sills




Also got a black rear badge but forgot to take a picture of it

Like I said on msn max she looks mint !!
