carl0s Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 They're Volk GT-AV 18x9 up front and 18x10 rear, in Grey/Silver. Black it is for the calipers then. Shoud I just sand them down with some rough glasspaper? Don't really want to have to send them away to be blasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Yeah I think you can do that, get some sandpaper/wet n dry/polishing mop on them, you could polish them down to the bare metal That'd look cool hehe, but yeah I'd go with black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I saw these last night and they look the dogs danglies. i would clean up the calipers and do them in a deep gloss black with white/silver logos which would look awesome imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Do a search mate. There are tons of threads on this. I used a wire brush to get all the surface corrosion off, then cleaned with brake cleaner and old rags. Mask everything off real well, prime, let dry, prime, clean, light coat, let dry, light coat, let dry, finishing shots, let dry, remove masking, reassemble, apply decals. Complete.

SupraJames Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 To clean the calipers use a good wire brush, if you if have one a mini drill is great for cleaning them up, I have done sets for friends and mine as well as mine, just get the caliper as clean as poss and take your time with the paint, mine had 3 coats of paint..!
