Hi just wondring what's the best way to strip Brembos I no this sownds silly just wondering as got to sort my ones out 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

 

I used flat blade screwdrivers. Took feckin ages

 

paint stripper is good for stripping paint lol

 

Why are your brembos wearing pants

 

the internet spelling police are going to have a field day here

 

Now mate if you don't have nothing good to say than don't
Thanks

 

Hope you are doing it on purpose.

 

At first glance I thought he said

Stripping pants off bimbos

Sandblasting?

 

No I am dislektik but it don't bother me so don't no why I keep getting this wean I post it's not like I am herting no one I am trying

 

If there aluminum caustic soda with plain water will strip them back to bare metal

 

I used glue and foam remover, did a great job and was pretty fast!

 

surely this can't be real. surely!

 

Hi mate why do you want to strip paint off? Is paint flacking? If not just key them up and repaint.

 

Paint stripped would be best, but if there heavily corroded your best using a sand blaster on them.

If your going to paint them use a acid etch primer first before top coat otherwise the paint will flake off. Only problem is paint is quite thin and will chip off and look quite tatty after a year or so.

Best option would be having them powder coated, this is very hard wearing and will last a long time.

I originally painted mine in vht gold flake and vht high temp clear.
They didn't have any corrosion on them so I just took them apart then used a paint stripper on them.

Also fitted new seals before reassembling them.

Looked really good but after a year or so they did fade a bit, They were also covered in chips and scratches from removing wheels ect.
Also brake dust tends to get imbedded in the paint and make them difficult to keep clean.



Second time I fully stripped them down and sent them off to be powder coated orange.

This looks a whole lot better and doesn't chip off like paint. Also resistant to brake fluid and brake dust.




I'm actually in the process of having the colour changed again. I didn't really get on with the orange, it kinda clashed with the blue interior.

There now going to be a Vauxhall Arden blue metallic.

 

Yep it is mate

 

Yes mate the panint is flacking bad

 

Hi thanks for this I am looking at going down the vht way as have the paint and clear will have to just bild up the panit by putting lots of layers on

 

I used Nitromors to remove paint off calipers i had refurbed. Worked a treat.

 

Now in Blue,

 

What colour code is that blue I like it a lot.

 

Looks like it's Vauxhall paint code L291 (Arden Blue). See this thread:

Cheers,
Paul
