it's actually called "chrysler blue"...

 

looks good but you should have take off the entire thing instead of doing that...

anything but stock is always good :p

 

I like it, nice color .

 

doesn't matter. we covered every part up with blue tape first. and then had rags around so it didn't get on my car. my dad has painted calipers on all of my brother's cars (he's had 9) so i believe he knows what he's doing. but thanks for the concern.

 

Tova got her nails done, very nice!

 

 

did she get a pedi too???

 

yea...front and back. she's loving her new look.

 

is that high temp paint or are you planning on doing this again?

 

yes, it's high temp paint.

 

o man the painting begins!!!!!! 1 step closer to winning now. LOL... and r those the locking lugs i see on your wheels too???


mike

 

lol!! don't think i'll be painting the interior. though it might help my chances at winning. lol. but i'm good for now.

and yes, those are the wheel locks!! so excited. lol.

my dad and i will be working on my headlight protectors from my sponsor, http://www.ROCKBLOCKER.net, and starting my sound system, as well today!!

 

Looks good, I painted mine the same way. Much easier to paint them while they are still on the car. As long as you mask and tape off the area it is not a problem. You can check out mine by clicking on the link under my signature.

 

nice! though when i saw you had a yellow box, i expected the calipers to be yellow, not red. lol.

 

nice man. Where do you get your high temp paint at and whats a good brand to use? Is it sprayed on or brushed on?

 

the kind on the xB is a fancy kind. lol.

mine was at pep boys for almost $6...but we got it on sale for $2.98. it's a spray. i can't recall the brand right now, but when i head back outside to work on my car, i'll check.

 

how long does it need to dry b4 u can start driving around again? some1 told me 2 days, but that seems kind of a long time. thanks

mike

 

haha. no. we finished at like 5 and i drove by like 10 last night. it dried pretty quick actually.

 

Hey Sciongirl - thanks for the good pictures. I definitely want to give this a try and I figure spraying while on the car is probably the best way to go about it, but I want to make sure I'm doing it right since I've never done this before. I've taken some liberties with your picture - hope you don't mind.



Anyway, it looks like there are a few areas you taped off (would have been nice if the tape didn't match the paint color!). On the right is the whole brake disc of course. Then there are two long areas (thin on one end, bigger on the other) on the top and bottom, and then two smaller "D" shaped areas in the middle. Are these the only things you have to tape off? Any other tips? Also, how did you do this? I was thinking I could borrow my GF's jack and do the front two at once, then aftere a while switch to the back two... I wonder how long it would take that way... Did you use any sort of primer or cleaning solvent first?
