Help Painting Akebonos
Painting Akebonos
Hey Guys/Girls
I just bought the Akebono BBK and want to have it painted by my bodyshop. My only concern is how will the paint/clear hold up from the heat of the calipers? I do not want to go the powder coat route as I really don't want to rebuild the kit. Does anyone have any experience with bodyshop painted and cleared Akebonos? Lastly how did you guys attach the decals?(im thinking of having them painted,decals put on,calipers cleared)
Thanks everyone!!

I had mine sprayed with a can of duplicolor caliper paint. It's been a year and the calipers aren't chipping or anything from the heat. So if your are getting it professionally done with PPG, I'm sure that will hold up 10x better. And you can choose to either apply the decal before clear coat or after. I did mine before. (:
