luxmn · 09-09-2012, 02:45 PM

DaJo · 09-09-2012, 03:31 PM

I like it! I'm kind of debating whether if I should do this too...

Bad ass bro. Looks great.

atledreier · 09-09-2012, 03:56 PM

Looks great. Definetly doing that to my DGM.

How did you do it?

Yruyur · 09-09-2012, 04:04 PM

What product did you use? Have you used it before? What will utilize look like 20k miles later? Thinking of doing this myself.

I used VHT Brake Caliper Paint (Red), then I finished them with VHT (Clear), baked them in the oven for the paint to settle in. I have used it before, it should last!

I dislike all beauty 'mods' but this one looks appealing. Imo, stock silver is a horrible match with red exterior.

Did you paint over stock paint or over the bare metal?

Thanks!

Thank you! It was over the bare metal, I re-coated the red a couple times after it dried just to insure I got everything

Mended · 09-13-2012, 11:46 AM

How long and at what temp did you bake them?

Jason952 · 09-13-2012, 01:18 PM
