karlos1987 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If your going for a red theme mate do the callipers in red. Just keep it all tied in nicely. Sorry didn't realise when I said blue you had a bit of a red theme going on. Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ungary Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Picked up the red hammerite rust to metal paint today ain't had a chance to do it yet. Hope I got the right paint Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos1987 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yea that stuff is great. You don't have to brush them off with a wire brush with that. Personally I would. Just gives it a smoother finish.

ungary Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah I know you don't have to. I planned on brushing em off beforehand same as I did with the drums and they turned out good Gary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungary Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 So I started the painting of my calipers today. This is the first coat Sent from my HTC One using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungary Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Second coat. Think it may possibly need another coat tomorrow before I make a start on the passenger side caliper. Not sure if I have done it right and I'm hoping after all this work it don't come off. Sent from my HTC One using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ungary Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 The back I used a wire brush and cleaned them off with a lil bit of soap in water the front I did the same but a really small amount of soap in the water for the front.

ungary Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 So looking at the brake caliper I painted yesterday I wasn't sure whether it would peel off when the brakes heat up so after taking the car on quite a long drive I'm happy to say the paint has withstood the temperature. Needs another coat or two but I planned that from yesterday Gary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungary Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Painted the passenger side caliper this afternoon. Looking good so far willnedd to give couple more coats to improve the look but here is how it looks so far. I am going to add pics of all my total changes made to my car to this date. Opinions and ideas where to go next would be greatly appreciated. Thanx everyone Sent from my HTC One using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
