    Default 300zx painted wheels and calipers!

    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 drying

    The car at stock...


    Front caliper...


    Rear Caliper...


    Rear painted...


    Rear painted w/ wheel on...


    Complete shot...


    And the other full shot...


    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!

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

    Good job.

    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?

    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.
