Ltespd · 08-18-2009, 10:43 PM

I painted mine the same color as the car.

What type of paint did you use?

It's easy to do... did them on the G6. I used the Duplicolor brush on and had some GTP stencils cut and sprayed the lettering on with high temp white paint. Did them about a year ago and they still look good and I drive the car daily. A few chips here and there but I kept the paint and touch them up.

The paint goes on with visible brush marks but you coat it twice and when it dries it turns out perfectly smooth. It does dry fast so you have to work pretty quick

I had the red jewel color mixed. Bought the brembo stencils. Taped everything off real well. Sprayed the paint and used clear coat to finish up.

Nice

What is the paint code you used and did you do the clear coat over the Brembo sticker? I would love to do this this weekend. Also what was the psi set on your gun.
