fresh layer of paint for front brake callipers!

[welshtom1990]

Might be a silly question, but did you just use a normal paint brush?
Cheers

Did you remove the calipers Danny to paint them ?

I thought most people did but from what i can see looks like you masked it off.

no mate, i just masked off and took my time, took me a day to do each one. i did do a few layers but waiting for it to dry and also the prep of sanding down etc. i did cover up the discs best i could too so i didnt get any chemicals on them!

Those look bob-on mate. :thumbup:

Good work.

 

[Roy]

Going to have to get mine done

 

[danny197]

Do it Roy! Just managed to get round to doing my rear ones today! Look so much better than the rust colour! Oh and you have the stickers too don't you!

These look awesome! I've been thinking about doing mine, I was going to do them red with anthracite alloys, but this could be a game changer. Never thought about the blue and it looks so good!

The only question I have is about the stickers, a really nice touch which I think is necessary IMO. Can I ask where you got them from, or how you made them?

They look superb mate!! Well done. I want to get around to doing mine in Red but it's just finding time at present and then when I do the weather will probs turn rubbish. This may be a question you have been asked many times, but did you take your calipers off completely and paint the inside of them also where the pistons are etc or keep them on the disc and paint the external caliper side?

Ours will be going yellow at some point.

Some may say i didn't do a real job but no I didn't take them off. Didn't see the need tbh. I painted all you can see ( even did the backs) now I've got darker wheels on, they look ace!

Get some pics up of the darker wheels danny, i may regret doing mine red now. lol
