Painting some more little bits

FrontEndBits.jpg When I put the wheels on the car, I realised just how much of the suspension would be visible. I had stuck the front end together previously as it came, so it was bare metal. It had small patches of rust on here and there as well. I stripped the brakes off and cleaned the calipers and spindles up ready to paint. I had masked the A-Arms already, so I masked the spindles and calipers and hung it all from the roof ready to paint. A quick coat of etch, and I left it all dry while we went out for lunch. When I got back, I sprayed the spindles and A-Arm mounts black, then washed up for a coat of white for the calipers. White calipers? Nah. A coat of the green I chose for the car and I had some much better looking brakes to put back on. Only thing now is the discs look a little small in those big open wheels…… CaliperPainted.jpg
