Brake Caliper Colour
keith:
I got mine powder coated, you can seperate the caliper from the mount to make it neater for painting.I rubbed them down with wire wool after cleaning them, split them and hand painted 1st with halfrauds brake caliper paint. I wasn't happy with the finish so sent to the p/coaters.
How about Silver? look good on the ones i have just done for my mk2.
neg:
So you split the caliper? might give that a go.
In fact I have to work out how to dissasemble the complete unit yet - how does the carrier come away from the caliper?
Hurdy, yeh- that would be handy - very nice of you chap!
keith:
In the first pic you undo the 4 big torq screws, they were a real swine to get off.
this bit houses the piston, the carriers were easy enough I even painted the pin that holds the brake pads in, did the heat res silver.
JPC:
ye those four big ones are a pain. there t55 i think as well so youll need a good half inch torque spanner and to get a t55 bit from somewhere
tinydave:
i would go for yellow or white :rolleye:
Here is a picture of the yellow on R32 brakes with matching yellow stripe from i meet i was at on sunday :drool:
