WTF is your problem Paul. I said i went to a Place that does powder coating and they said they didnt do Flat Black power coating. They showed me an example of there work and i just wasnt diggin it....so i painted Flat black. How is that Being Full of Shit?

Paul, Just STFU

Your idiot posts where you're constantly interjecting your stupid opinions into everything based on absolutely nothing are my problem. There is no way a powdercoating place would turn you and your money away because "they don't do flat black."

GFY.

I'm done with you.

Paul.

I never said they they turned me away. I said i looked at what they could do and after evaluation i decided i wanted to sand everything smooth and paint myself. They never turned me away, i decided to go a different route.

I wanted mine Powdercoated but the place i went to only did the Gloss Jobs...

You must've gone to the only powdercoating place on earth that won't do flat black. :blah2: :blah2: :blah2:

Although red ones do look sick on certain cars
but for mine I'ma do either the color of my car, polished, silver or black

i'm thinkin the polished or silver... prolly silver cuz less work hahhaha

polished > gloss black > silver > blue (color of your car) > red > flat black > gold

also, don't put the paint on too thick. The calipers get hot, so if you put on too many coats it will crack, even if you use high temp paint. powder coating is the way to go, but if you can't afford it, this is how i'd do it

sand with 80, then 180. This will make it coarse so the paint will stick.
sand the first coat barely with 320.

put on 2 more light coats

then, like handz said, sand off the paint on the letters (if you have the letters) and you could even put a thin coat of high temp clear over that.
