I like it alot but I also would like to know where you got the supra logo. is it a sticker, did you paint it, what? I was thinking if all else fails I will print out a supra logo, size it up, cut it out, and use it as a templete so I can spray paint the logo on.

Very nice. What kind of paint did you use? I love the black. My calipers are redright now but i think i might paint them a different color.

What'd you use? I used the G2 kit and that worked great.

Go to eBay and search for "G2 calipers paint kit". They have various colors. - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ 2000 GS400 |

Here's some old pics back when I did mine:
I used the G2 red kit. I would advise getting "Supra" script stickers though cause spray painting that was a bitch and it chips.           - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ 2000 GS400 |

I was thinking of picking up 2 other set of rims, but then didn't. Polished TT's:  Racing Hart C5's:   Niche Pultec's:   Volk TE37's:   Kazera KZ-A's:   This message has been edited.

sorry i couldnt reply guys, i was out of town. hardpipes.com sells either stickers or templates, $16 will get you a full set. i got my stickers from a friend for a cheaper price, if you would like to know more please PM me because im not going to post his email up. for paint i used high temp spray paint. a quick overview of my process:
1. spray aircraft remover on caliper, let it soak for a bit, scrub with toothbrush, rinse caliper 2. sand caliper using 220, 320, 400, 600. sand until it shines 3. primer and sand. repeat as many times as necessary 4. apply a few coats of paint 5. when paint drys apply stickers or paint template 6. add some clear coat 7. enjoy ill get some pics of it with the wheel on tomorrow. i would have painted them a different color but no other color would look good on an MSB supra. |

quick pic of it installed
 while i was in the painting mood i painted my spark plug cover but first i had to bondo a big crack in the cover. i should have taken before and after pics but i only have a pic of it finished. the white on the front and back of the cover are from lighting. the whole thing was painted black then the lettering was done in silver and then all was clear coated.  |

How did you paint the letters? Did you cover off the rest off the cover and spray it or did you hand paint them.

I hand painted them. masking off everthing except the letters would have been a royal PITA.
