I paint plastic parts all the time at work. I'd recommend at least scuffing up the area to be painted, using a red or green scotchbrite pad. Just enough to give the area a flat finish. Then wipe it clean with alcohol. The paint will adhere better.

Hey xbox4414, have you ever tried Carbotech Bobcat brake pads? They're the same price or cheaper than Axxis Ultimates, they're every bit as good and they won't eat up your rotors like the Axxis can. They're a better fit for a street car but will easily pull double duty for the street as well as track use.

 

Looks good , thanks for the info

 

lol most likely (remembers old lancer), next we'll have people starting to paint brembo's gray


honestly, I think if you painted it completely, it would clash too much with the generally black engine. What about trying to paint just the indentations (the s curve)? and painting the rest black.

Btw, nice job on the engine cover, looks really nice

 

Black eh? Can you say Ralliart Evo?

 

red ftw!

 

lookz good
what next ur rims
i seen some guy paint his white not so good

 

Is it bad that I want to do this to my GG Evo? Lol

 

Will doing this void your warranty?

 

well....let's see...ehhhhh....uhmmmm

i got it.
darker colors reflects less the heat than lighter colors, so.....you are overheating in 0.003 degrees your engine with a black color cover.....
warranty Voided!!!

 

FYI - those rear pads need a spacer. They compare them to the stock shape and they are much smaller. They don't fit already tried.

 

LOL this thread is so old it's not even funny. I threw those pads out a long time ago. They are the WORST. I already got a set of Hawk's and now I'm on my second set of Hawk's. Yes I know about the spacer...I got it from GiroDisk....they came on the pad inside the box...

 

Cool! What pads you using. I track my MR and drive it around tow too. Those Axxis ULTs are kinda lame.
