jackso11 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 My brake calipers are red, I don't want them red anymore. What is the best way to strip off the paint? I am going to change all the hoses, fluid and pads so if it involves shot blasting I can take them all off. Wire brush sounds like a lot of hard work to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Easy i was doing it today, old knife, scrape all the paint away, wire brush it all over, use 240 dry grit and apply the paint, dont worry about the kinfe or wire brush making marks, the hammerite paint im using made it look nice and clean again:) hth Edited May 13, 2010 by evinX (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 haha, its in grey primer, silvers still under there but it looked patchy when i did the body kit so primed it to look neat. Im going satin black which is why i used hammerite smooth silver:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I am not keen on your front bumper (each to their own) and asked my house mate what he thought of it in your picture ages ago, his answer was 'I like that bumper, don't like the colour though....why would anyone want a pink Supra?'..........................he is colour blind, bless. hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I did tell him it was grey, he squinted, looked at the screen closely and said...oh yeah, I can see that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
