yeah i used VHT spray paint on my calipers and they are 700º iirc... i guess i will have to mix yellow and blue caliper paint... but then that means i have to brush it on..
The paint on my Tein Basics is chipping and I would like to refinish them. Anyone found anything close? Doesn't have to be the exact color but close would be nice. I'm thinking of getting Rustoleum brand paint since they tend to hold up a lot longer.
Lifetime warranty on what? Tein told me their warranty is only good for one year. Maybe in the past they offered lifetime but now it's only 1 year from purchase.
The POR-15 is the stuff we use in my shop to prep surfaces that are rusted so that we can paint or Line-X it. This stuff is amazing. I used it on my hood to convert the rust to a paintable primered surface before I Line-X'ed a bra onto it.
I'd do it before painting your shocks if I were you.
I'll be painting the actual strut body and leaving the springs black because the paint on those are fine. I won't be painting these for another month or two because it's still 40 degrees here in NYC..it will take forever to dry!
I'll definitely update the thread once I paint them though.
The paint is a 98% match to the Tein Green. However, the paint did nothing but run when I sprayed it. It comes out too thick and even from 18 inches away and feathering the nozzle, overspray was something I couldn't avoid. It's not my fault lol, I've spray painted a lot of things, it's the paint. I ended up switching to a black duplicolor can with the fan type nozzle. I didn't have any overspray with it at all so it's definitely not user error.
that sucks, i wish they had hightemp in that color
