Here you go Willie, not bad for a girl even if I do say so myself!! Chuffed to bits with myself.

Well today I decided to refurb my Brembos.

First of all I'd just like to say that I have never worked on calipers before, let alone Brembos. So this might not look that great to any of you lot, but to me, Im delighted.

Here's what they were like before.

So first of all I gave them a good clean, to remove brake dust ect using Quantum Brake and Clutch Cleaner. Then I picked off all the old lacquer that needed to come off, which I found very easy considering Im a girl with a lovely set of nails!

Then I wet sanded them using 1200 Wet and Dry Parer, which did the trick.

Then finally to put on fresh lacquer, where I did 3 coats leaving 30 minutes between each coat.

Once the last coat had been on 30 minutes I removed all protective paper and masking tape.

Here's the finished results.
