im looking for some high temp blue paint for my calipers and a few parts in my engine bay. i want it to be a brush on paint...no spraypaint

anyways...does anyone know where to get some?
the compaines discontinued the paint they used to sell at the local car stores.
and i am having trouble finding some online too

imho, p o w d e r c o a t ........ the places that I know of charge by the pound. you can get quite a bit done for $50 - $100. heat resistant, won't fade or peel.

b300z

id like to but i kinda want to do it myself...im still figuring out what i want to paint
and i dont think my dad would go for it

edit: i just asked jeeves about powercoating....$16,xxx for a small powder coating equipment set.....dayyuuuuum

z32gizzle

lol thats why you go to get it powder coated not start up a mini buisness. heh

I've seen small p/c kits at www.use-enco.com on sale for like $250. I tried a quick look today and couldn't find it tho. it's usually in their "hot deals" catalog

keep searching, i just googled this and it's on the same website.

http://stores.channeladvisor.com/tir...0%20-%20brakes

plus about 10 more pages of retailers selling the G2 and duplicolor paint kits.
funny how much stuff you find when you just search.

b300z

i did search...just a different search engine than you...and i got a lot of advertisement crap instead of paint.
but that stuff is soo expensive. and only enough for 4 calipers, which means i would be spending 60-70 to paint the stuff i have painted already, nothing else that i want to paint yet.
im just gonna try the stuff i have right now, and if i dont like it, then i guess i will dish out the coins for the hardcore stuff
thanks tho riz

My Fairlady Z

just use spray paint..quit crying..turns out looking just fine

I 2nd that.

b300z

i am/i did
jeez

ill post some pics of what i got done so far...doesnt look too bad. i didnt get the cable cover thingy sanded smooth enough, so i might do that over again

b300z

heres what i got done so far...i decided to redo the cable cover, and i think im gonna go over each one with some fine wet sandpaper after theyre done because they didnt turn out too smooth

My Fairlady Z

lol, mine turned out perfect and all i did was use some paint thinner to get off the grease and put a couple coats of engine enamel, then a clear coat..lol i think you're overkilling pal..

b300z

all im doing is scuffing them, washing them, putting a base coat that came with it and then spraying the paint.
whats so bad about that?

bardabe

lol I sand wash resand washgain smooth out any scratches or watnot, wash primer, base coat, bse coat, clear coat , clear coat, wet sand, polsh, and wax. antihign wrong with that?

Zgringo

Riz Z Speed
