enjoy

 

The Brembos look fantastic in black - great job !!

 

Do you have to use a special paint for the calipers? Or is it just a normal gloss?

 

cheers ,its all in the prep ,took me day and half to stripped right back.

the gold were pretty scratched up

 

you can use high temp base coat and lacquer .

but these always get marked so when comes to touching up it becomes awkward to match.

i decided to use a high temp gloss for this reason and touching up with a fine brush is no problem and cannot tell.

heres link for paint really good paint

Top job mate

What do you think of the Dodo range?, I have just done a full detail on my spec D with it and used the Buff Daddy for the first time and the results are amazing, I will try and get some pics up tomorrow.

 

i been using black fire for years and thought would try the dodo range and really impressed to be fair ,i did buy the dodo red mist spray and really dont like it, as it dries instantly even in the shade and leaves spray marks, but purple haze and blue velvet are A1

 

looking classy

 

cheers, taking inlet manifold off next and doing it black wrinkle i think lol

 

Yeah you need to use the red mist tropical mate its the same stuff but it doesn't dry as quick so it can be worked in wet and spread more evenly and it will definitely go further as you dont need as much of the product.

 

cheers will give it a go,the one i got is as good a useless didnt get the tropical as its ment for hotter climates and well living in the uk say no more lol

 

great job on the calipers mate, the car looks stunning

 

Spot on

 

loving the black brembos

wiley

 

 

cheers for the above comments as a few said before i painted them dont paint them black its boring but remembered a thread a while ago think by frayz he painted some same colour and looked great ,had the brakes nice and hot and paint seems unfazed by the heat

 

top job they look superb in black.

 

Good job of those Calipers

 

nice job mate . mine are looking a tad beaten up now , the gold chips so easily

 

Damn you, looks great, makes me want to do mine now.

 

Great job

 

Looks spot on scott,long time no see.

 

cost around £35 to do if you replace bleed nipples with stainless ones and your own time well worth it.
