I would also put a high heat gloss over the caliper as well if you have the time also, that will assure that your leaper decal will stay put, and help prevent some of the paint chipping during pad removal next time (and look nicer too) I would keep the leaper on the front only though...no need to go overboard on front AND rear. lol   Great job! Show us what it will look like behind your wheels as well. Would like to see that. _____________________________ Matt '03 XK8 CvTbl My Jag Galleries (in reply to super_jag) Post #: 2

RE: Painted my Calipers Sunday - 2/26/2008 9:36:04 AM    super_jag Posts: 196 Joined: 1/21/2008 Status: offline I actually did spray some high heat gloss afterwords. I plan on washing it today since it stopped snowing yesterday and chances of precipitation are low for the following days, so after the wash I will take some pics, (no leapers on the rear). Bad thing is that I have 16" sized dealer rims, so you can't see them that well but I plan on getting some 19" later. (in reply to Dennis) Post #: 4

Instead of starting another thread, i thought i'd post the pics w/ yours super-jag. The fronts were not coated, and were EBC aftermarket ones. The outer edge and cooling fins on the rotor, along with the hat were corroding - U G L Y. I took them off at the same time and painted these as well. The rear rotors were original equipment (as far as I know) and had some coating, but the hat was a little rusty, so off they came as well. (this pic isn't very good - P&S, but shows the rotors/calipers w/o the wheel on. The gold spot on the caliper is just flash reflection. < Message edited by h20boy -- 3/2/2008 10:53:30 AM > _____________________________ Matt '03 XK8 CvTbl My Jag Galleries (in reply to cadillac) Post #: 8
