Painting calipers
Refurbished and sprayed my AP brakes. However stuck how to get the lettering right.
What is the best way to get the lettering painted back on and what to use? https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...bb26fb07e.jpeg |
Use a syringe or eye dropper filled with paint.

Would it not be easier to mask the Caliper, cut with craft knife etc and then paint the writing |

That looks lovely mate |
I'd echo using a small syringe to fill up the lettering. Keep the calipers flat and it'll sit nicely in there. But as it goes in thick you do definitely need to give them sufficient time to dry before fitting (or at least using) - I'd suggest at least a week.

Thanks to all for your recommendations. I have left it with my mechanic to sort with painter as I am in UK for work and car is in Cyprus.
