You can find Foliatec Brake Caliper paint at most retailers. Can’t remember where I ordered the one I use from. Amazon and Demon Tweeks do stock it FYI

The size of your arm at 4:12-4:50 HENCH 🤣 Great video though, I think they look great. (The brakes)

😂😂😂 The camera angle is amazing!!! Almost look the size of a gorilla 🦍 Honestly so pleased with how they’ve turned out! I think would look better when I’ve have the wheels painted black too.

@@WhatThePun I personally have never liked black wheels, they only stay clean for litreally mins - it will grind on you. Look up the colour ShadowChrome - I had that on my R32 and it worked very nicely.

So did you do 1 wheel at a time? How long did you let it dry before putting the wheel on? And did you give a second hand?

[@WhatThePun]

I did do 1 wheel at a time 😂 Definitely would have been quicker to have the car on stands to do 2 wheels at a time. Or even better 4 wheels at a time. That’s why a mixed a bit of paint separately at first, cause I knew I would do the 2nd wheel at a later date. 😅 But yes, I ended up doing 2 layers of paint. Thought I would be better with 2 layers, last longer. I cannot remember the dry time per layer, I think I mentioned in the video. But the instructions on the product gives you all the timing. But ideally, once you are finished painting all your layers. They recommend 24 hours for it to fully cure/dry. Hope this helps

@@WhatThePun Did you install the wheel after the 2nd layer?

[@WhatThePun]

@@EEsteves-pb6fh yes I did, after the standard drying time. Making sure the inside of the wheels did not touch the caliper, then just let dry for 24 hours.

[@EEsteves-pb6fh]

@@WhatThePun Thanks for the answer, I don't have stands at the moment either haha Btw just out of curiosity what was the dry time until the second hand? Thanks

@@EEsteves-pb6fhin the instructions for the kit I received I believe it recommended 15 minutes between coats/layers. Maybe vary between difference kits and finishes.
