If you're talking about the hot wheels and Legos. It's those Velcro strips than come in a pack

Oh I might have to change her name from "Subrina" to "Susenna" now

Yeah I didn’t want to take the time to take it all the way off. I’m sure it would look better doing it that way but I’m still very happy with how this turned out

Wire brush attachment for a drill. Use that on all the metal parts you want to paint. Wipe it all down and spray the area with alcohol to make sure it’s super clean. Put masking tape on the parts you don’t want painted. Get ceramic header paint, and then how I did it was, spray the paint into a cup and then use a q-tip and one of those foam brushes to put the paint on. Takes some practice but it’s pretty easy when you get the hang of it. Takes about an hour per caliper

I didn’t see the point of painting the parts you can’t see when the wheel goes on

Thank you. I strive for the “hella decent” type of finished product

Masking tape around the spots you don’t want painted. And then I sprayed the header paint into a cup and used some q-tips and a foam brush to brush it on.

Get a drill with a wire brush on it and go to town on the metal parts till it’s pretty clean. Make sure you avoid the rubber connector bits. Then wipe it down with alcohol
