Nitromors if you want to go to bare metal

Just mask off the pistons to protect the rubber from the stuff !!!!

Is this just the lacquer bubling and flaking off or for a full respray??

surley only one way... nitromors for bare metal.

sandpaper if only lacquer bubble and follow the guide..."brembo respray/refurb for dummies"....its on here somewhere.

Tell you what I'll just swap you them for my standard Cupra TDi brakes!

I know, I'm a generous guy

anyone completely stripped and powder coated them? or are the seals heat resistant enough to survive the powder coating?

The seals might be ok, but any remaining fluid in the caliper will probably find its way out and make a mess of the paint during stoving.

I like them red

.. grey or red is just a bit boring as my car doesn't look far from stock as is..

Skorchio · Jul 27, 2007

Bloody hell!

I dont think power coating will look as good as painted. ?????

ICUJEDI · Jul 28, 2007

My mate did his Evo calipers in the gunmetal grey (metallic black - halfords) and got the brembo stickers off ebay
