[hurry4it]

hey brad, How did you paint the white TRD logo? Generally how does one paint the different logos? Like AP Racing/ Brembo etc?

 

[hurry4it]

Actually the TRD logo is a silver metallic sticker that I found on ebay. It ended up working really well too. Also I do need to get a wire brush and some chemicals on that wheel hub to stop the freaking rusting.

Thanks,

Brad

I bought stencils for the logo from someone on this forum a long time ago. The stencils don't include the red line, I just taped that off myself. The stencil is like tape with the logo cut into it. You stick it on the caliper, paint the logo, and remove the stencil. I would worry about the heat melting the glue on a sticker or emblem. I used 500 degree engine paint and it has held up well on the roadcourse. I did the same with my other Supra (with no logo) and after 3 track events and about 25,000 miles they also looked like new.

did you guys just tape over everything but the calipers and go wild with the spray paint, or did you remove the calipers? i would like to paint mine but am not sure how difficult it is to remove the calipers.

 

[hurry4it]

Look at my post in the NA section titled "does brake caliper paint really work?" It tells you in there how to remove your calipers. I removed mine to paint them, but I think you can do it either way.

I left mine on the car. Worked just fine. I just didn't paint the back of the calipers which you cant see anyway. The system I used came with a paint brush so it made it easy to do with them on the car. Be sure you clean them better than I did tho...paint doesn't like to go over grease/grime. I got my paint kit from here: http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts.cfm/partfamilyid/548/categoryid/11/subcategoryid/69

Actually, you can also just use some engine paint and that will work if you want to ghetto rig it. I did that on my rx-7 and I was shocked at how good it looked. You can get the paint from just about any car parts store. It is imperative you properly clean the calipers first, however.
