Dupli-Color Caliper Paint vs. Caliper Covers

Caliper Paint or Covers?

When you’re thinking of customizing your brake calipers you have a few options: you can purchase aftermarket replacements by big name brands like Brembo; you can pick up a set of inexpensive plastic imitations, you can purchase a set of covers from a company like MGP; or you can go the completely custom route with caliper paints from a trusted name like Dupli-Color. The real question is why would you choose paint when the other options seem to offer more or less the same results?

You Really Can See the Difference

The video above is a great little video put together by the folks a Rvinyl and showcases the ABS brand of plastic calipers. As you can see, attractive as they are from a distance, they fail to add any protection to the calipers. In comparison, the Dupli-Color paint offers a variety of colors and may even protect against corrosion and rust.

Features of Dupli-Color Paint Kits

• EZ Touch® Conical Nozzle
• Ceramic resins resist heat up to 500°F
• Fast drying durable finish
• Dry to touch in 30 Minutes
• Handle in 1 Hour
• Resistant To chipping, chemicals, and brake dust
• For use on brake calipers, rotors, and drums

As yo can see from the list of features, this paint can be used on just about any part of the brake unlike caliper covers or other aftermarket accessories. In the end, the caliper paint is far more versatile and protects the brakes in a way most other accessories cannot.

Installing LED Bar Projector Headlights on Your 2012 Honda Civic

Rvinyl.com has been pumping out installation videos on YouTube and step-by-step guides for the better part of the last two months now and it would be silly if no one took advantage of the wealth of material. Today’s installation guide covers the install of Spec-D Tuning’s LED bar projector headlights for the 2012 Honda Civic. I have to say that the new LED bar style that we first started seeing on European luxury cars like Audi a year ago and that was everywhere at the 2013 NY Auto Show is an amazing look that really complements the front fascia lines of any car. The 2012 Civic is certainly no exception to this rule either so these headlamps really do a lot to enhance the look of the otherwise staid Civic.

Not for the Faint of Heart

The title of this section is somewhat misleading as the installation process is not difficult at all but it does require a modicum of attention and at least an hour of your time. In order to successfully install these lights you will need to remove the bumper which can be a pain, especially when you consider that you need to remove twelve clips from underneath the bumper. Still, that’s about as hard a s it gets. You do not need to install aor attach a resistor or canceller and there is no messing with wires (except for disconnecting and reconnecting the headlights to the harness).

I won;t bore you with the details but you can find the full, 20-something step guide here: http://rvinyl.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Install-Projector-Headlights-on-the-2012-Honda-Civic Enjoy and have a good weekend!

How to Smoke Your Lights – A Quick Auto-trim Tutorial

Optically-clear tint for the primary and additional lighting of vehicles is one of the most well-known ways for adjusting and detailing the head and tail lamps of cars which has arisen in the last several decades. In the following brief informational we will provide suggestions for just how much film would be required to complete any given job.

How to Figure out the Sizing Needed
Although we will provide you with the approximated measures required for each kind of job later we want to first provide you a more specific way of evaluating the places to be protected with tint. The following are necessary:

• Cord or a tailor tape
• A Sharpie or pen to indicate the cord
• Maskin or low-tac tape to keep your cord in place

First recognize the factors comprising the highest possible size and size the mild. Tape or keep the end of the cable at one end and unfurl it until you achieve the other end. You may end up with both the measurements and detail of the contacts but treat it as only one dimension.

Using the same technique used history the measurements, continue to history its size. When you have calculated both measurements you will need to add an additional 2 ” extensive to each to be able to make sure you will have enough shade for the job and to allow you to deal with the movie. It is essential that this phase not be skipped because system sebum and over-handling are two of the essential causes which cause to delamination and deficiency of bond.

Headlight Covering
When tinting out your front lights light transmission should be regarded as the issue of ultimate importance. We recommend the use of used shade on front side lighting only on vehicles to be used for show reasons. In common, most front lights will need at least 24 by 24-inches of soft each to be able to be definitely protected. Therefore, if you want to buy one area of cover to shade the couple of headlamps you would need to buy a 48-inch piece.

Tinting Taillights
The same issues implement for taillight film as for those above. End lighting can differ commonly in style but it is almost certain that you will need at least 24-square inches extensive per mild for adequate security.

Smoking-out Fog Lights
Fog lighting are usually small than the go or taillights although there are some essential exceptions out there such as certain Subarus. As such, one twenty-four by twenty-four inches cover kit will be adequate to movie both fog lighting and you should have enough staying over to add used elements to your aspect signs or third stopping procedure lighting.
