My new Scion

Ok i know its not much, but i just did my first so call MOD. I painted my calipers Red Barcelona (Toyota Code 3R3). Ohh, and added a decal....i know i know, but i just couldnt help it. LOL. Let mw know what you think

[ThisorThatxD]

love the color. was it hard to paint them? i really want to do something like that in the coming spring.

[macko_macko]

Actually it was pretty simple, just bought a 1/16 can of 3R3 toyota paint, with a can of clear spray for heat. Also a 1" paint brush. I just removed the wheels, and started painting really carefull with a paint brush, just 2 hands of paint per caliper. After that i sprayed each with the clear paint, 2 hands also.

They look great, they really pop out now. Even my wife love them, and she is fed up with me talking about the car....lol

Looks good.

Painting the calipers is on my list for when this start to warm up again in the spring.

OK so i need everyone opinion on this. I was going to buy new rims, but a friend suggested to paint mine gloss black. The thing is that im not entirely sure, cause I live in Puerto Rico so the roads here aint the racing type anyways. i was going to Buy 17 inch rims with 215/45 tires. Right now i have stock 16" allow rims. So what you think, buy new or paint stock?

[ThisorThatxD]

my vote is new, and thats simply because i dont think the black would work on your white xd lol.

[macko_macko]

Actually, black is the color Im aiming for. New or Painting the old one, what better color for my white car than black...... I want my car white black, and Red details.

I went with black wheels on my super white also. But I was looking for a decent pair of bronze wheels also... but black won out... this time.
