Title: Has anyone put a clear coat on their callipers?
Post by: nathanMR2 on July 26, 2010, 18:06
If so whats best to use?

Decided to repaint my callipers before adding my MR2 logos. It suggests lacquering them after you've added the logo but im painting them in situ and with a brush. So ill need some paintable stuff

I did Nathan, just a Halfrauds aerosol. I just spent ages masking up, but did paint in situ..

When i did mine I had already bought some touch up paint from toyota for my '2'  which comes with a clear laquer and brush (£8)
I used this to paint over my stickers - used two coats.

However removed wheels to paint the calipers...added the logos and laquer later with wheels back on.

Well i did both wheels on the nearside yesterday evening. I had a can of spray lacquer which i sprayed onto the brush and painted it onto the calliper. I also sprayed over the logos a few times using a piece of paper with a hole cut out so the spray didnt get anywhere it shouldnt. Ill see how they last up.

The logos were pretty easy to put on. Ill have a go at the other side tomorrow   s:) :) s:)
