Well finally removed all my red brake paint. Took a while. Had to use paint/vanish stripper and white spirit. Took a while but there nice and clean and smooth now. Just got to wait for a day i'm free for a couple of hours and one thats dry to start painting them.

Cheers for that mate, but my cars on bricks at the moment so wont be able to make it. I'll try for next month and we'll have to meet up.

[lolhoward]

I finally have got rid of the red drums. Took ages removing the original paint but well worth it in the end. Just gave it 3 coats of satin black

[lolhoward]

Whilst doing the drums I though I might as well change the calipers to my favourite, yellow. Also changed the pads for a new set of Bosch ones.

After 1 coat



After 2 coats and a bit of touch up
