Good guide, need to do mine again at some point fairly soon.

Always found that putting the tin of paint in a small bowl of hot water (with the lid off) made it so much easier to work with.

That's a very good tip. I always find the paint a little on the thick side. I have tried thinning it down in the past.

Painted my calipers red, and just ordered some White Carbon decals.
Dave did you give yours a coat of lacquer after you applied them, as this seals them and keeps the **** off them.
Shame about your type of locking wheel nut, that type always look so dirty and black- spoils the whole look of the wheel. My brother has the same prob with his Avensis.

No I didn't lacquer them. I painted them red on my last Lex with white decals and I didn't lacquer them. They lasted OK.

I have to agree with you on the locking nuts they don't look nice. I polished up the other wheel nuts while they were off though Wink
