Red Calliper Paint

[Calisto]

Thanks to all those that helped me decide to have RED callipers,

i have got the paint, now what,

take of the wheel and using a wire brush clean up the callipers.

is is that simple, bearing in mind that I am going to attempt to do this myself.

[Bibbs]

yup - that simple ..

Just make sure you give them a good scrubbing with the brush otherwise the paint doesnt stick as well and it looks tatty!

[Calisto]

OK will do. she should be all nice and red for JAE.

only paint the calipers and try not to let it run into the pads!

and dont paint the disc!

I am not that bad :P

after I have used the wire brush should I put masking tape behind the calliper on the disk???

I am assuming the pad is on ther other side of the calliper, I have never looked too closely at my callipers TBH.

[jaxx]

yes the pad is inside the caliper

just put thin multipul coats on. dont lash gallons on in one shot or youll risk it doing so

[Calisto]

Thanks Rob.

[gordypix]

Rob's not doing anything important are you Rob....so give the man a call........

He wants a Celica anyway - give him the chance to see one close up

[Calisto]

didnt you know that Asha has got a man for everything!

did I really say that OMG but serioulsy it is true,

I asked my general car bloke how much he would charge to clean and paint my callipers he quoted 15 quid per wheel

S*d that so I am doing it myself.
