Finally decided to do my Akebonos, I used the VHT burnt copper high temp paint along with their gloss. De greased and cleaned the brakes, sanded them down added about 4 coats of paint. After that dried up I added the Akebono decals and 2 coats of clear. This is how it came out

 

Looks good man

 

nice man... nice...

 

they turned out very nice my friend!!!!
how did you paint them?.... I mean, did you take them off, clean, sand, paint, etc. then bleed lines, etc. and put back together??
OR, did you leave them on, put bag over brakes, tape up good, etc. then paint while brakes still on?..... Just curious if a great job like yours good be done without taking them off...

 

Looks great! Really pops behind the black wheels.

 

Looks good

If you do not mind me asking, how many cans did you go through to get them painted?

 

Thanks Guys

I actually did it on the car Just taped everything up really good

1 can did all four brakes with about four coats on each. And I still have paint left over.

 

Who painted your wheels?

 

Oh and looks good. Now come over and paint mine

 

Thanks lol

I did them myself, its just plastidip.

 

Great job!

 

Great looking color, looks like you did a nice job, especially since they were left on the car.

 

Very nice man. Looks good with the all black theme you have going on.

 

Agreed! And it looks doubly good on a black car.
