    Default Ali and the Bull do spray cans

    So Trent and I got together to do a little spray painting.

    There was an opportunity to go astray with the colour choice, but thankfully my noob-ness with spray paint saved the day.

    These are some photos of my progress.

    Trent will probably drop some in later.

    Dirty rear callipers



    Used a grinder with brass wire cleaning disk, Nice and clean.



    Front disk cleaned.



    Preparation...



    Rear Callipers started.






    Fronts started.



    HOT CAR STUFF "MPS" label on.



    Orange wrapper



    Ready for clear coat.



    Clear coat done (can't you tell )



    "What the fck you lookin at?!!"



    Rears clear coat.





    Finished...





    Thanks to many who have posted their experiences of painting callipers on the forum. Hopefully I have done you proud

    Looks great Brad, so bummed I couldn't make it .

    The other choice was bold, but the Black has come up really nice with the Red MPS logo.

    Trent, pics or it didn't happen.......or get finished

    Trent went matt on his. He's going for the stealth look. Works really well.

    I went gloss because... It was all they had on the shelves

    Thanks Andre and all. It's was Trents idea, this get together. Great idea mate.

    Next get together should be a mass car wash. Get some Meter Maids up from the Gold Coast to make a few bubbles!!
