    Default Look who's been a busy bee !

    It's been 3 years since i painted up my calipers, so high time they were re-done, i've put off doing this for too long !

    All the old caliper paint was stripped off with a wire brush on my angle grinder, most of which was starting to peel off anyway.
    Bit of brake cleaner to get the last of the muck off and away i went.

    While the paint was drying, i cleaned the retainer springs up. The rear spring clips are made from stainless, so they were polished up on my polishing wheel and the fronts just repainted with galv spray.

    Once all was dry, i fitted some nice new caliper decals to finish the job off.

    Looks miles better now ! Happy days.


    Have consideration for the deaf, if you're gunna fart, make it smell !

    Top job mate. Mine have been painted for 2 years now and I'm wondering whether to re do them yellow, change the colour, or do them black.
