silvershark44 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 yeah that reminds me i need to paint my calipers!! black though, with the supra logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4RK RZ Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 There a set of disc's I bought from WRAITH automotive Performance Developments (all jap tuning parts avalible)Chesterfield. I have thrown the box away but im pritty sure it said 'Nationals' on it. Now - here is the interesting point, particular high brand companies buy there discs from National who produce them in huge numbers (as they have the casting plant) - then the anodise/paint the discs to suit there branding!!! Mark Hickman got me the discs - the guy who runs WRAITH. Great set of guys there too, bob on. Discs arrived in 3 days for 130 quid :o) 01246 261171- give him a call and tell him you spoke to me on the forum. Im sure he has a mate on here as I bought his standard spoiler from him - looks ace The calipers are the original J-spec and beleive it or not.....I painted them just over 2 and a bit years ago ! they still look great now - the supra detail is also sprayed on, not stickered.

Hi there Im sorry I could not remember your screen name ! Spoiler looks great mate - glad to have the Veilside one off as now the car has more 'hips' . Mark looked after me great cheers, infact I am ment to be developing him a bracket for a brembo caliper conversion, took some measurments today whilst wheels were off - shouldnt be a problem. he has a great set up there. As for the calipers, all I did was get an assortment of wire brushes (small and large) and go to them with the drill. I remember it took some doing to get them to the stage where tere was 100% no dirt on them, but I thought it was worth the effort not to see the paint peeling off. I used an aerosol to spray the silver(about3-4coats) - red paint to stencil on the supra detail. So prep work is the key (I also undercoated them with primer - 1 coat) the paint was just general car toutch up tins from the local spares.
