since Xmas, this

I noticed that the new lexus car models, although newer and obviously better technology, the body shape is more like a mazda 626, nothing spectacular like a 1991 soarer body shape, it grabs attention from all sides of the street meters away. love my active.

No offence Oki,

But that is one thick coat of paint... Everywhere!

Don't mind the overall look though

Thanks for the feedback Nathan,

if you look at it by the naked eye, paint doesn't look that thick.

for my first ever paint job, I am quite pleased with the end result.

As for yours, looks good, did you do yourself.

Another way to get a really good finish, is to sand them smooth first, start carefully with a grinder, then circular sander. Gets them super smooth, and looks more like aftermarket calipers.

both painting them and sanding them smooth reduces their ability to disperse heat..
having said that mine are painted.
