I would like to paint a few parts on my new Z but arent sure what type of paint to use? I want to paint the brake calipers and the windscreen wiper arms to start with - does anyone know what type of paint I will need?
hey mate, calpiers, there are ones made for them, u can get em at Supercheap, they called Caliper and Brake paint, or sumthing along those lines, and with wipers, i used normal paint from Supercheap, 2.50 a can, and used a clear coat too. Hope this helps :zlove:
martin .. i went for something a little different on my 3 wipers .. and worked well .... cleaned them down with septone wax/grease remover .. few coats of primer .. then several coats of metallic charcoal .. and topped off with a few coats of clear coat ... did the same with my targa strips and the seals that run along the base of the driver and passenger door windows ... and looks good against black duco .. all done in situ with spray can paint .... calipers done with supercheap brake and caliper spray can paint ... do a search on this.. has been well covered previously ...
I've always used satin finish on wipers with great results. Gloss will give shiny reflections which is not a good thing.
hey mate, if your planning on doing the calipers and wiper arms black, just use caliper paint for both. i did my calipers black a while ago, had a heap of paint left over, and since then i've sprayed quite a few bits and pieces with it. its black paint, just high temp
