Having the right information and the right tools makes all the difference in the world when it comes to tinting your own car or home. Window tinting is basically a 3step process:
1) Cleaning the windows 2) Applying the film 3) Squeegee out the air and water.
See pictures below:
This diy is for you lazy bums that dont wanna take off your caliper to paint it.
Tools needed:
- Wire brush
- Flat head screw driver
- News Paper and tape
- 500' engine enamal
- Rattle can primer (or Brake Paint)
and all the tools in here (just kidding)
This part is key, make sure you really get the calipers clean and no rust on them at all by using the Wire Brush.
Tape off the caliper really well so that no paint gets on the rotors.
Tuck the newspaper under the caliper really well to prevent any spray from getting on the rotors.
Prime the caliper, dont worry if the first coat dosnet look thick, you going to want to do about 2-3 thin coats of primer.
Below are pictures of the before and after affects of "shaving" your emblems.
1. Basically all you need to do is use a flathead screwdriver and wrap a towel at the tip, or something soft just so you don't scratch the paint, and just go under the emblems and start pulling up. Move around it so you can lift it evenly.
2. Once it has been removed, get soon "Goof Off" or something similar that won't harm your paint and rub the remaining tape off.
3. Once that is done, get some wax and wax the spots that you just rub.
