Well after reading the awesome write up by fellow Juice magazine superstar THansenite (https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...306&highlight=) on how to paint calipers, and on the advise of the great one known as Reese. I decided to tackle painting the calipers on my SW.....white!!

I will not go into the prep work as THansenite did an outstanding job already at covering that. The kit I used was the G2 caliper kit I got from Tirerack. This kit is a little different, the kit comes with the paint and a bottle of activator. Once you add the activator to the paint you only have 4-6 hours to use all of the paint before you can no longer use it anymore. The paint in this kit is a little different it acutally hardens and creates a nice shiny very durable finish, as a matter of fact this kit comes with a %100 product guarantee!

Here are the results!!

Prepped Front Rotor!


Car in the Air


Second and Third Coats, at this stage I was a little concerned that the paint was going to dry a little dull, but after the paint cures and hardens, and sets for the instructed 24 hours it produced a nice shiny hard finish!!

 

Looks good, but with those wheels it will be a nightmare to clean them. Nice rotors as well.

 

Looks like I will experience the pain cleaning these first hand this weekend, taking it to the a big 3 day show this weekend!!

 

yeah its called dedication the mans got it!

 

Oh man.. have fun cleaning them! good job on the painting. =)

 

*drools* that sh*T looks AWESOME!!! I love the white!
Dont think he'll have any problems keeping them clean, they have a great shine to them and his car is always clean so great job Jester

 

nice job!

 

LOL, from one Juice superstar to another...nice job. I will have to take a look at the show this weekend to see how they really look. I am interested to see how the finish differs from the Duplicolor kit I used. Looks hot.

 

TRD drop? i got a SW with the wing and the s2k antenna with wut looks liek the same percentage tints, im lookin forward to droppin my car soon with TRD springs and im debating whether to go with a black 5 spoke wheel or wheels like urs...i have mixd feelings, do want 5 star wheels either way, but i love the calipers, i was wondering how they would look in white so appreciate it man, congrats

 

Looks fantastic!
