Disc Brake Dress Up….Part 2

The color on the car is called Arancio Atlas. It is a three stage or tri-coat color meaning it has a base color, mid-coat color and a clear coat. After the epoxy sealer flashed for 30 minutes we applied the first color coat which was an off white color, almost light gray.


This is the first color of the three stages.


This is the mid-coat color. It is a very transparent orange pearl.


After the mid-coat color dried we wanted to apply the “Lamborghini” stencil before the final coats of clear. The color was completely dry to the touch so we could handle it without damaging the finish. The stencil was carefully measured out so it fit in perfectly on the flat area of the caliper. I only wanted to stick the stencil once without having to lift it off and try again.


The stencil is carefully applied to the caliper.
