Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I looked a while back on the Scooby site and a lot of them recommended this kit if your painting yourself. Will never look as good as spray painted though You sold up and bought a Megane dude ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Folia-Tec-FoliaTe ... 1639667187 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the megane as good or did you need something more practical ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 if you have crappy single pot cast brake calipers etc foliatec stuff is good (slap it on with a paintbrush etc). If you want a good smooth finish on brembo's then you have to paint them like a car. Primer, Top Coat and a H2 Laquer. We do alot of this type of work through my work place. Do alot of Range Rover Brembo's, Done Astons brakes, etc. Get the car or calipers down to a body shop and get a price. (make sure you have new brembo stickers though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the megane as good or did you need something more practical ? Sold it as The Z was costing too much to run and being 22 I was driving around the B roads with a heavy right foot. Went for the Megane more practical and it still has a little kick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky370z Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 comments like that make me think... why did i buy a 350z.. im skint enough as it is lol you bought it because its an awesome car and it puts a massive smile on ure face when u drive it. i have found myself thinking im gonna sell coz i cant afford it.... then i slap myself and say "stop being a tit" + i have used that stuff on ebay. TBH its really hit and miss. loads of prep work needed to get a really good finish. i did my calipers on my ST. looked really good for a while and then its started to chip off. as did the other people who used it. just not really hard wearing enough i guess.
