i dont know what to say... thats my dream car. absolutely unbelievable. its immaculate looking... theres an anniversary edition i see around here and i keep thinking how much money those things are worth... big dollars even though it isnt new.



nice job man
 
Nice ride. I worked on the exact same model for a guy here in town. Same color too. Gotta love that red when its cleaned up nice!
 
Thanks for all the compliments guys!! Yes it is the stock color, color code 3L2. :)



As for how the calipers were done, here goes the steps.



I have painted the Calipers on my current Supra, as well as a few other Supras. I have used high temp Engine paint both times (just rattle can high temp from an auto parts store), with flawless results.



THE KEY IS PREP. I use brake parts cleaner, then sand the calipers down removing anything on the surface and then clean the calipers again. Then I tape everything off, and make sure I have everything covered that I don't want paint on. I then use primer (rattle can) and apply 2-3 coats. I then wetsand with 600 grit. You need to make sure the paint has something to adhere to, otherwise the paint can flake off, so this step is very important.



After the primer stage, color is next! 3 coats of the color of your choice should do just fine. Make sure to let the paint dry between coats and don't spray to thick. After it has completely dried, apply any decal you want or paint something on using a stencil. Now you are ready for the clearcoat! Again, just high temp engine paint, the color clear. Apply as many coats of clear as you want, I used 3 or 4. The surface was already free from orange peel so no colorsanding was necessary. Maybe I'm just THAT good. :)
 
Nice detail and definitely nice ride! :cool:



The way you brought out that color makes the car look like it's going 150mph while it's sitting still! :shocked
