Spray-painted Akebono's
 

Need to install these someday. :p

Sanded, masked, spray-painted with Duplicolor ceramic engine paint (blue). Masked again, Akebono stencil applied and spray-painted with the same type of paint (silver). Wet-sanded to get rid of imperfections/overspray and finally spray-painted with several coats of clear Duplicolor ceramic engine paint.

17 days in the making. 5 days cure time between the colored paints, and 7 days for the clear (to cure).

The stencils, rather adhesive vinyls, were ordered from Christy with decal-orations.com. You have to specify that they knock-out the vinyl to use as a stencil. Otherwise they give you a positive decal. Christy was a joy to work with and very helpful with trying to get what i was looking for tested and created.

I eventually went with the stencil/paint because a vinyl sticker kept turning brown every time i placed it in the oven for testing and assuming the types of temperature it could be exposed to should this baby go to the track again. Even so-called eBay "high-temperature" vinyls.

Wow those look awesome, looks like a pro did 'em! Post more pics after install!!

Super-nice job...love that garage floor, too!

These look great!!!

Beautiful job on those Mike. Looks fantastic.

Nice I wish I could fit them with my wheels..

Shucks. Thanks, guys. I do have a small run in the clear on the back, so that will be wet-sanded soon. I originally thought of having it powder-coated, but at $300, i figured i'd try the DIY route first. If it turned out bad, then i'll swallow the $300. But it ended up in my favor and less than $30 in materials. :)

That looks awesome. I was thinking of a similar color combo for mine. What color is your car?
