I got some high temp paint sitting in the garage waiting to be used. What do you guys think, should i do it?

Travisty 08-27-2003 11:14 AM

eh i wouldnt.

Srce 08-27-2003 11:58 AM

Sure, red or silver!!!

Sinful7 08-27-2003 12:58 PM

NOOOO not silver!!

Red or BLACK only!

Do the have 'mazda' lcast into the side? if so, paint 'em, and sand off the paint on the raised Mazda letters.. Looks SMOKIN hot. I prefer Black.

Black or red would be good..

Seppuku 08-27-2003 02:01 PM

I went ahead and tested it on one. This is just 1 coat of paint.

Looks.. good.. I have been pondering painting the center of my bbs wheels black.. I like it cuz when the wheels are in motion it looks transparent.. But I will save that for if I get the 17" BBS rims..





Hmmm.. Time for some Photoshop..

I have seen some people paint their calipers red, but after a while they turn black and ugly. Either the dust from brakes sticked to them or they just didn't know how to paint it. I would like to do mine, but I'm affraid it will look like S**t after a while.

Looks pretty good Seppuku.

Sinful7 08-27-2003 05:38 PM

looks good. Just hose them off when you wash the wheels - or spray them with wheel cleaner. that'll keep 'em on the clean side - touch up once a year.

FikseRxSeven 08-27-2003 07:42 PM

Racer X 08-27-2003 08:50 PM
