or at least I tried....

I did one side and took me 'til 6:30 to put the wheels back. Some paper got stuck on the face of the caliper while drying, forcing me to start from scratch... believe me, ceramic paint is not your usual enamel...

Used duplicolor ceramic engine primer/paint and clear after the stickers where applied.

So far, so good. I can't believe it took me one day to do my 996 but those calipers where original black, not the crappy red the prior owner did on my car...

sorry for the iPhone pictures, they where taken few minutes ago...

 

Good job, post some pictures when everything is done with the wheels on too!

 

That looks good.

 

Thanks guys! on the last pic on the hat of the disc, it's just a reflection... I didn't forget to mask that out!

 

Great job. I painted mine this past summer so I feel your pain. It's all in the preparation. It looks like you prepared very well. Looking forward to pics of the entire car!

Best,

Matt

 

yes, preparation is key. I started this morning around 8:00 and was ready to start priming at 11:00 AM! will take pictures of the car once I finish the other side!

 

came out very nice

 

Looks great! Was it a brush or spray application?

 

Wow, those look very good. Nice work! Did you remove the caliper?

 

Does look fantastic....let us also know how it holds out long term.

 

looks good, especially on the yellow 996. Now just add brake dust..................

 

so they are not ceramic?

 

this is a spray on application. "ceramic" paint...
the calipers stay on the car... I will post a series of visual photo steps for you all to see.
these are now on my 997 but I did it on my 996... 86,000 miles later, still looked like when the day I painted them... very durable.

 

Does look great, Good job. Love to see with wheels on. Post some DIY instructions i want to do it on my car as well.

These must be for your bumblebee ?

 

Money!
