Painted calipers in … color =)) — logbook Toyota Avensis 2008
The heat in the city is unreal, I still don’t want to go to the river, but I have a gigantic desire to do something with the car =))) I went shopping, the climate is good and it’s cold in the car =))) I was looking for heat-resistant paint on the caliper, traveled all that is possible, but except black matte and gray do not sell anything, but I already have black matte ...
Therefore, I spat on everything and took myself gold paint in a spray can - it will fly off after a while, I will repaint it in chrome =))) well, or in a black mat on the edge ...
This is how unpainted supports looked like =)))
I went to the garage, took a brush for metal and a large emery, began to clean the calipers from dirt, then washed them and degreased them ... then it came to a stupor - what color to take a new gold or black mat that is lying around ...
I painted it in one layer in a black mat, my soul did not lie down to this color, I put on a disk, the caliper disappeared, black on black is a kapets …
I left this wheel until better times and started on another one ... then I remembered that I would need a small photo report =))) I went for the phone and took a couple of pictures of a freshly painted gold caliper ...
There are no many pictures, because It's a pity the phone, but the hands are black =)))
All the work was done in 2 hours and here is the result =)))
I will not express my opinion on this work, yours are interesting, judge by the photo ... Mobile transmits all colors as best as it can =)))

Thank you, nice =))) I really liked how it turned out! in life it looks gorgeous, especially when you start to look closer, the paint lay down very clearly =) the first experience of painting was, tomorrow I’ll paint mine in chrome =)))
I painted with ordinary paint, because. heat-resistant we have only black matte and gray ...
get off, paint again =) it doesn’t matter, but you can play with colors =)
The only negative is the brakes, and they tend to heat up and the usual paint comes off, but I don’t care, it looks great, I’ll paint myself red!
As soon as it starts to fly around, I will do it exactly =))) Thanks for the advice! In the summer I want to mess around with the machine, so that later my eyes would be happy, but as always there is little time for alterations =(
And you make a knight's move, paint it with black heat-resistant, and gold from the top! While summer you need to enjoy collective farming and you get it in full. Good luck, very nice car!
Thank you =))) yes, even I couldn’t get there either, but then the morning turned out to be free =)
awesome you came up with, I won’t get to paint all my calipers, I
put fives as usual
Thank you, it's nice that it looks 10 times better =))) but it seems to me that a thousand =))) and most importantly, no one has this =)))
yes, I agree with you, handmade work of our own production will always please the eye!
Thank you, at first I didn’t like it very much, but right now it’s a little dusty, the shine is gone and it looks great, everyone likes it =))) the main thing is not a hackneyed color, no red, etc. =)))
Thank you =))) I think that this paint will last more than for the summer, it is holding up very well for now =))))
it’s unlikely that they will be =)) right now it’s a little dusty and it doesn’t look so golden, but it’s cool =))
an original solution, the main thing is that there are no people who want to remove them as a precious metal.
