So, what can you get for $8 these days... well how about 1 can of rustolium (metallic blue) + wire brush + 1 roll of msking tape + newspaper + nice day out in the sun =


:-) looking good...

 

looks clean and phat.. good job

 

Good job.

 

Looks great. Did you get lots of HP and gobs of torque? hehe j/k

 

I believe gets 8 HP, red only gets 7 HP.

 

Don't forget yellow and orange are the colors for a$$ kicking performance.

 

looks good, wanna do mine?

 

sure, you clear my tails.. I'll do your brakes.. we can meet half way across the country

As for HP... none there, but my brakes feel stronger j/k. I got an Apexi sticker to put under the hood somewhere... now there is some real HP

 

Hey there buddy------

I have a dyno (at my house, you can't see though) that shows i get 8 1/2...hehehe

red rules!

 

hehe.. I've had two red escorts, a red ford explorer and a red isuzu pickup (all within a few years) I think it's safe to say that if you were going 80 on the highway, and I was going 100, you would get pulled over...

 

i was only talking about theblue's spark plug cover...

and you do not have to tell everyone common knowledge...

i know i would...hehehe


good job theblue... i need to do mine over..the calipers are chipping..doh

 

nice job theblue... fitting for the name... hehehehehe..
looks sweeeeeeet!!

who needs expensive mods anyways.....

 

nice job blue... gonna do those red claws next?

 

red claws?

 

Red only gets 7 HP? Doh! I just painted mine red this weekend.

 

I know the secret color that gets 10 HP, the maximum, but I'm not telling anyone.

 

Sorry medicsonic i have to reveal the color. It's metallic gold, i just did them last week. To all you that did them already i assume you used high temp caliper paint or engine enamel because brakes stay very cold right.

 

Nope, rustolium regular, and still looking perfect after 2 days

 

Wow two days, your lucky, hehe.. hope it works out though.

 

I figure the stuff is made to be put on ouside things such as metal patio table that will hit very high temps on hot days... therefore they should be fine for my brakes.

 

Well I guess for the 8$ there really isn't an argument, very good idea for an inexpensive mod,nice job.

 

that looks sweet theblue!!!! Where did you get that rustolium? And what are those guages below your cd player? those are sweet too!!! How much did they cost with install? Thanks

 

Gauge info = http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ghlight=custom

rustolium is from home depot

 

do you have to go over it with the wire brush before you paint it? If so how much? Thanks, Again it looks sweet!!

 

on the fstb

 

Man I'm glad I didn't buy that $60 caliper kit yet. Looks good theblue. I'm think I'm only going to go with the 7 hp stuff.(red) !!HEY!!! redmaxpa007 How did you get a pic of my Max?

 

nice

 

ooooohhhh nnooo.. I was here first... but if you have a red max you are very, very cool....

 

redmaxpa007, in not kewl but my Max is. Yes I do own a Red one. Yours looks good by the way!

 

where's the fire?

 

Fantastic! Thanks for posting us the hint. I have a deep blue pearl SE that would look so hot with this upgrade. Is this Rustoleum paint heat tempered??

 

the can says:

Premium Rust-oleum Metallic brilliant metal finish - ideal for autos, bikes, & more... mine looks great after a few days, I guess we'll see over time

 

Niiiice
and cheap too! You get brownie points for that one theblue

 

I found "Cobalt Blue Metallic" Rustoleum at Home Depot. It's the closest looking one to what you have. Could you tell me what the code number and name is on your can?

Also, how's the paint holding up? I'm prepping to do my front grill, rather than go with a Stillen replacement. I think it'll look pretty cool, esp. when teamed up with the brake calipers.

 

That does look good.

 

has anyone painted their calipers white? I wanna match it with my body color. I think it would look cool too

 

let me answer your question with a question:

What color is brake dust?

 

Isn't brake dust white?? Wait wait, nope it's black and nasty but it blends well with white.

 

I don't think anyone has mentioned it, but I painted my calipers black so that they aren't too noticeable and look cleaner. The paint was chipping (hi-temp engine paint), so I was told by Murphy_Mike to use the black paint for outdoor grills. I had never thought of that, but it makes sense. It's made to withstand the elements, and its extremely high temp. So if you want black calipers that's the way to go

I'm going to get mine powdercoated pearl white....I'll just have to keep them clean!
