after getting aftermarket wheels, i noticed the rear calipers and the drums on the rear where rusted and nasty looking, so i decided to sand it down and shoot it with some paint to clean it up. i'm bored btw







after pics of wax job and my killer dog keeping guard

 

Looks awesome man. Love your ride. I need to paint the drums on my rotors soon too, but it's f-in cold outside...lol

 

Nice simple mod....


Nice looking car overall... I just got a NBP but I've always loved the way a nice clean WDP looked...

 

Good job man. Did you paint the calipers and drums on the car or did you take them off? Looks like you did it on the car but just wanted to make sure. I think I'm going to do this in the spring.

I always wondered if painting the mating surface between the drum and the wheel would cause any issues. I wouldn't think so but thought I'd ask.

 

wow looks great!! what did you use primer on? rotors or calipers or both? Yea it is hot in NY right now too tomorrow even better. should've came earlier in the week tho since im booked all weekend. Love the rims too. alittle off topic but did everything start good after last nights little problem?

 

Looks good bro.

 

^^^everything is back to normal after a reset of the ECU. totally threw me off, i thought i was stuck in windows 98se and tried to do a ctrl/alt/delete.

i taped off the rotors and sealed off the rest of the inner fender well with a clear plastic trash bag and threw blankets over the rear end of the car. i sanded the caliper and drums with 320, and then used the scotchbrite pad to finish it off. After that i used the 3m adhevise remover to clean it up before primer, i primed both, caliper and drums with 2 coats, then used 3 coats of black caliper paint with 10 minutes in between each coat.

 

nice lookin tl is that a silky terrier?

 

Dude, excellent job. That looks great. Heck, it looks so good-even the dog is staring it down.

Great job. I need to do this with my rotors and calipers in the rear. I also have WDP and two Yorkies. What color did you use?

 

nicee

 

Your dog even likes the calipers. Nice work.

 

Car looks great!! I gotta do my calipers when it gets a little warmer. I have TSW's too and you can see the calipers so much more with them on. I have my stock rims on now for winter tho.
What's the dog's name?
