I JUST picked it up last night after the rims got powdercoated gloss black and the calipers were done in Verde Ithica.

I will post more pics after a photoshoot this weekend if weather is good.

 

All opinions welcome ;)

Thanks guys!

 

It was very pleased when I found out a local shop could put any factory paint into a spray can.

 

It was a 3 stage process for the calipers and took about 4 hrs start to finish for the calipers.

 

I am glad I went with the Verde Ithica Green rather than the standard red.

Sprite had the same setup on his black twin turbo superleggera. Looks good.

Why is there cabbage in the last pick??

Lol....I think it is masking from painting.

Ever since I saw Sprite's former black SuperG with the verde calipers, I was hooked. You've definitely hit a great combo, looks awesome! :icon_thumleft:

did the caliper have to come off?

 

No, just do a very good job of masking.

 

The most important thing: if you want a body shop professional looking finish MAKE SURE you go to a automotive paint supplier and have them put the color you want into a spray can for you. ALSO make sure you get a base, the metalic or pearl paint of your choice and then a clear as well. They will all come in a spray can and application is very simple and quick.

 

Make sure you sand the calipers before you spray the base coat and DO NOT FORGET TO mask off EVERYTHING including the fenders or quarter panels as the spray WILL TRAVEL!!

 

P.S.: A hair dryer will come in handy, just dont use too close to paint or will cause clear to burn or paint to bubble
