I haven't installed them yet, but I painted my Akebono calipers. I used 6 coats VHT caliper paint then 3 coats of VHT caliper clear over the decals. After they dried over night I baked them at 200f for an hour and the finish seems to have come out very good.

I hate you
If you use the right clear it'd look like paint

Unfortunately i wasnt that lucky, mine failed in a partially closed position so it was still flowing coolant, but would still make the Z overheat....oh and also update, switched out a faulty fan speed control module today so the Z is officially fixed as far as mechanical parts go lol

Ain't that the truth. Trying to get some NAFTA sheets filled out so I don't get impaled on a bunch of parts coming in. Don't usually self broker but it's so out of control right now it makes it worth spending the time.

Screw that I'm not letting them make a damn dollar off me the pricks. Had ti hire a third party broker to clear it for me. Extra expense but at least its cheaper than UPS and I'd rather pay someone else even if it was bit more. If it wasn't from someone on the board here, and a business instead, I'd have refused the shipment and just had them send it back. |
