hahaha looks like i beat'cha to it!
yupp yupp!

 

ugh... i thought i was goin to be the first one with painted badges....

post pics when the badges are done and attached in car please..

 

Where do you buy that paint? and how long did you have to wait before you could drive the car? o:

 

More common colors (red, blue, black) are available at most auto parts stores. And they say wait 24 hrs to drive your car.

 

haha no prob will do man :D
I bought the paint at Napa auto parts
Well for me I use a heatgun/hair dryer to make it dry faster lol

 

^ Did mine today. You made me jealous, lol. Paint was dry to the touch after about an hour, but I'm gonna wait the full 24 hrs though. We can take my wife's car anywhere we need to go for the next day.

 

im jealous too!! but now im stuck iin between painting mine neon greenish color or purple

 

Why purple?

 

Go rainbow lol jk. I painted my friend that dark magnetic grey tc2 like a TIEN Green looks nice & it stands out too

 

purple is just a new color i want to try on the new tc since my old one was ALL blue. but im thinking maybe all purple interior lights and under hood lights. and a neon green for under hood parts and calipers?? wont happen anytime soon but i will eventually get to it. i have pay the stupid irs 2k first...

tein green wouldnt be bad either.. i just have to play with different shades first.

 

pics please. :D

im thinking red on my calipers. but it's too common... blue is also common. bout yellow? ahahaa

 

Just a small acc. update, I bought some #12 finishing washers & 6mmx16/20mm screws & painted it with the leftover purple. Looks good & definitly cheap looking JDM fender washers. Lol xD

 

Nice touch!

 

Will any type of paint work for the calipers? Are they difficult to take off? I've never really gone too far with moding...

 

You need to buy high temp paint. If you go common colors (red, blue, black), you can find the paint at your local autoparts store. If you want something like purple, you'll have to get it online. Just search for caliper paint.

As for difficulty doing it, you don't even have to take the calipers off. I just jacked up my car and took off the wheels.

 

Thanks! I have to try this out.

 

Thanks MightyP
