300zx painted wheels and calipers!

[S2KJD]

These pics were taken with his camera phone so they are not the greatest quality but the point gets across. He wanted to go all glossy black on the wheels and for the calipers there are NISSAN labels on them so I had to tape them off so they would still pop! Overall, I think they came out really well but if I ever do this again then everything will need to sit over night to assure complete dryinghttp://www.s2katlanta.com/forum/images/smilies/grinning-smiley-003.gif

For green to not be a color liked by myself on sport cars, I think this really helped make it look more apart of the race/import scene and helps the car look more agressive and that's what he was going for!

Very nice!

[Neejay]

Yeah, painting them helped a lot. Although the car was still nice stock. :)

Good job.

Nice work I painted mine red about a month ago and the urned out looking about the same...Now all i gotta work on is all the brake dust making my caliper look dirty. Nice work nonthe less though. How did you paint the rims because those are hot?

[S2KJD]

^get ceramic pads and that will help you out a lot!

that 300zx is a 2+2 right?

[S2KJD]

^no, there are no rear seats

[HiPSI]

the nissan calipers come out much much better if you paint the whole then then sand the paint across the surface of the logo. those just look kind of half assed with the overspray and the crappy surface grime on the flat behind the "nissan".


and why did you list your number?

looks pretty goood

[speedminded]

that 300zx is a 2+2 right?nope, gas door is in front of rear wheels....7" shorter.

[Yellow2]

paint the center caps too, you dont wipe half your ass do you?

Looks good either way. Take the other guys advice and paint the entire caliper and sand off the Nissan logos.

Here are my front brakes upgraded to the 750iL fronts. I added a BMW stencil as the origional brakes dont have any logos cept an Ati stamp on the back.
