    Hi, Im thinking of getting one for two reasons. Curing VHT paint and also for the odd paint touch up (low heat). I've found this one from screwfix. Does anybody know if it will do the job? Thanks in advance http://www.screwfix.com/p/energer-2000w-heat-gun-240v/59740#product_additional_details_container p.s sorry, posted in wrong section. Can a mod move it please?

    So ive had a look and cant find any candy red for calipers. The closest thing I found was a video about painting any colour calipers. It basically said to use: 1. VHT primer 2. 2k Base Coat (silver) 3. Candy colour (non vht) 4. VHT clear coat. Thats interesting, I presume the bottom and top layer protect the middle ones. The only issue there is VHT paint needs heat to cure so putting the calipers on will be messey as the paint will still be sticky. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the replies. That makes sense Lex. I realised hoody used paint specific for high heat on the calipers so im going to have another look on ebay and other places for caliper paint. Its exactly as you said, plain red is abit boring and I dont really fancy risking spoiling my Wilwoods for plain red. Candy red tips the scale slightly so I thought id have a go.

    It rattles...

    What I'm getting at is did you use the same Halford plastic primer, Nissan silver and lacquer on the calipers?
  12. SlickCelica
    Lex what do you call proper paint? Hoody that looks awesome. So you didnt bother with their own primer, base paint, or lacquer? Im interested in what exactly you used on the calipers (layers etc)

    I cant see it generating that much heat unless used on a track. Id be using VHT base coat but the rest would probably be standard paint. I have some VHT lacquer but would that really be needed? on another note, the same company run this website and the same kit on ebay is available here: http://kustomcanz.com/product/candy-aerosol-can-kit

    Their postage costs are insane. Ive found them on ebay selling the "kit". Silver base coat, candy colour, and a lacquer for £32 + £7.99 postage. If I put the same stuff in the basket on their website it works out to £60.56 !! Base Coat £8.99 Candy Colour £9.99 Clear coat £16.49 VAT £10.09 Post £15

    Thanks, thats good to know. Id be using it with a base coat of VHT paint or something. Its for calipers so im not really sure thats necessary either. I have some regular halfords lacquer I can use too.

    Grrr so im the guinea pig lol. I may try a deep candy red and see how it looks. £20 for a can though....,meh

    http://www.specialistpaints.com/custom-aerosol-cans I'm looking at the candy red or sparkle paints for my calipers. When I added one £9.99 can to my basket it added VAT and shipping and became £20 !! Some of the claims sound abit of a stretch too. "Specialist Paints Sparkle Pearls are the very best on the planet". What do you guys think?

    Ive heard the hexis stuff is much easier to wrap with. The real stuff costs around 30+ for the centre console.

    Thanks, ive sent him a pm. To be honest if your a newbie to electronics and just want the basic on/off functions...wire it to your amplifier (or power capacitor). Just stick the right fuse between the switch and the amp on the live wire. That way it draws power from the amp and lets you switch it on/off whenever you choose. More complex installs are probably best done by a professional as you said. If you find one let me know as I might need the services at some point
