He uses automotive paint. His name on the forums is blkturbo! ...yes, with the exclamation point. Does great work. I'll be getting mine done by him fairly soon as well.

 

[toysupra98]

He's been doing this for awhile now, so he knows what he is doing. The turnaround time is pretty good, it 3-6 days. Really 2 days but the other days for extra drying time.

They look great, very nice. Just a little off topic but when you take off your brake calipers to paint, how do to stop break fluid coming out of the break line?

 

[toysupra98]

I dont know what size screw they are, but go to the hardware store and find one that will fit. Use that nylon thread tape with the screw or bolt. Thats how Sean sent them back to me. You might want to PM him for more info.

HEY BRA!!!!........Those are MY stencils

I get them made locally so i dont have to nip at other guys' heels for them......if you check, you can see how mine are more accurate in size (a more "full" font)....not all petite looking
I spent an extra minute or two with the guy at the sign shop

Yeah Midnight Whore (I mean "hour" - LOL ---> just playin games )....just get with me when you're ready. Same goes for the other post of interest please.

I use the automotive paint I always speak of I used to paint cars, now i dont, but I still take side-hussles like this while I'm a professional pencil-pusher in school, LOL

Aughhh.......pics never do justice! Yeah, this set looks really clean in person. Very bright, pretty red (for a white car)...they will look really nice.
Thanks for the compliments

I use the same exact paint as on 2/3 of my own car. PPG Concept clearcoat (3 coats).......(Xvelocity's favorite, haha - inside joke).

I have some other techniques that make them come out better than others, but I dont want to give it all away

 

[TRDSupraSE]

Ahhh.....that red looks very nice, I can't wait to get mine done.

 

[GwailosuprA]

Damnit blk! you are tempting me yet again to send you my caliper but I have no money! Stop doing this to me!

//gwailo-

 

[blkturbo!]

TRDSupraSE - well, what are ya waitin for?!!

I'm sorry GW

 

[TRDSupraSE]

TRDSupraSE - well, what are ya waitin for?!!

I'll try to get them out this week

 

[zeeshan66]

they look amazing can't wait to see them on the car got pics?

 

[toysupra98]

Not yet. I have to pick up the steel braided brake lines from Jeff Watson.

 

[blkturbo!]

I'll try to get them out this week

haha.....well, you don't need to jump through hoops to get them out to me. I have about 3 details I need to get to at some point soon before these guys start calling me "asshole"
One's my neighbor, another is a Dr. at the Hospital, and the 3rd is a good return customer with generous patience (none of which I want to let down/put off). These brakes have been killing me lately, haha.
Just let me have some heads-up first

Thanks guys...

[zeeshan66]

how much did you pay exactly labor /materials included?

 

[blkturbo!]

I will PM you the price

 

[blkturbo!]

I have a few more sets in mty garage at this moment...2 of the sets have been done black...1 with chrome "supra" decals and the other with aluminum decals.
Same paint, with the 3 coats of clear on top of the decals

They look pretty tough.....maybe I shoulda put the chrome or aluminum decals on mine last month - with the Brembo-ish color I used
