Brembo 18Z 6 Pots are being painted at long last!!!
Hi All,
My Annual Leave started today so with the wife at work and the little one in nursery I finally had some time in the man cave
I stripped these back to metal a while ago and primed them. Looking at them this morning, I decided to flatten those final imperfections out...
I then roughed them up with a scouring pad to ensure good adhesion. Now, this is the first time that I've used 2K paint and my spray equipment in anger. The tests last weekend went really well, with the paint drying as it should using a 2:1 ratio.
Paint going on...
I had a bit of a play with the spray pattern as I went along, starting with very little leaving the gun and gradually increasing the paint spray as my confidence grew. Not a run in sight
I've sprayed the tops and will do the underside on Monday as I ran out of time today. I'll probably go for a couple of coats to ensure a nice bright red before placing on the decals and clear coating them. I received my Brembo
stickers today in 90mm and 105mm sizes. I think the 105mm ones are a little bulky for them so I'll most probably go with the 90mm ones, but that might change.
By the end of next week they'll be painted and rebuilt using new genuine Brembo parts. It's nice to be working on something car related again
