I've got a XPG ZS180 and my calipers are red all round

 

[Bazza]

I did mine in blue as my car was trophy blue.

 

[cjsale]

Blue for me to - used Hammerite - my car is silver and the ZS seats have blue inserts.

I did mine red.......................whatever floats yer boat really.

 

[smokeysworld]

yeah was planning on the whole x power green theme as the car already has an xpg pinstripe down it, thought it might be different to the normal red....anyone got pics to share so I can see the finished result?

Did you take the calipers off to paint them Kev? take the wheel off, or just paint through the wheel? Have a notion to paint mine red, and do the thing that rusts up silver while I'm at it.

It would be a hell of a lot easier if you remove the wheel first, as you can get to the calipers much better - also avoids you randomly painting bits of your wheels as you move the brush around.

Take the wheel off....thoroughly good clean, make sure it's dry and take ya time, hammerite is easy to do, Debs Trophy Blue ZR with gold....my TF with Red.....piece of cake

looks like a tight squeeze getting into that garage

all the best.mark

 

[smokeysworld]

great pics there guys, thanks....am still thinking the green is the best option...loving the forum sunstrip too!!

 

[aboard_epsilon]

i think the gold looks best ..

but that gold because its hamerite will probably turn a light brown colour once them calipers get hot .

seen that happen many times

all the best.mark

ive just painted my black 180 yellow! looks pretty good

 

[Nor]

Just the calipers I hope

 

[SilverRover007]

Has anyone painted the back ones too ???

im thinking of painting mine red .. to match the car colour and new alloys.. so should i paint just front or back aswell ?

 

[stamford]

I did the rears too. Think they need a good clean again though.

How did you find the paint coped when putting the springs back in place?

The last time I had my pads out I had to really push to get the springs back, won't this damage the new paint?
