Milo Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I'm on dial-up and I 've just about loaded the spray tin in the first pic. What happened next? Only joking!

NeilScarrott Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Wow, was just looking up painting my calipers and found this fantastic thread. All cars looking amazing with painted calipers! How long are the decals likely to stay stuck to the calipers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Neil - If you buy the decent ones from flea bay, the ones which are thermally stable, they should lasy eons. I had some on the last A4 which lasted at least a year. These have been on four months now (ish) and are showing no wear at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Believe it or not, thats their current condition, albeit an old picture had all the wheels off and cleaned them yesterday, flushed all the road salt and dirt out the wheel arches and brakes out while i was at it. Damn cold work! brrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 and me - there were actually flakes of salt coming off from inside the wheels! They were only cleaned a week ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durrsaku Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I see you have used two decals in one caliper there. Did you stick the first one in the wrong place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
