freshening up your brakes

Thought i would post up some simple steps to give you that fresh look on your brakes. As we all know, middle of the Supra's discs always have surface rust which show up if you have after market wheels so this is what i did to solve the problem

This is what they looked like before

First thing, once you have the wheel off and secure by axle stands, get a wire brush and remove as much rust as possible

Then clean with brake cleaner and give it a wipe

Then clean the brake caliper with some sand paper and clean with brake cleaner

When your happy, start masking the disc with masking tape so you dont get paint everywhere

Now you can start painting the brake caliper and discs. I used Matt Black as i have Matt Black wheels but you can use any funky colours,

Make sure you paint the face around where the wheel sits as you can still see some of the disc

Just to finish it off i ordered some more heat proof SUPRA logos from ebay which you can choose your own colours, i have Yellow logos on mine

And here you go, Nice clean looking brakes

Looks good

Im getting k sport brakes soon but the rust was driven me mad so i had to do something until i get them lol

Looks great, I used halfords kit done a superb job.

Good work and a nice little simple guide. Loooks good, well worth doing for such a good result with a minimum of work. Thanks for the post. Oh and very nice looking Supra you have there.

They make a huge amount of difference. Nice job

on my to do list , thanks for the tips, put up the e bay contact .

i did buy some years ago from gordon , but no chance of finding them now

looks awesome to be honest mate want to do mine !?

Looks really good that.

Especially like the yellow decals ties in really nice with the theme.

Did mine a couple of weeks ago. Black with white decals, really improves the look of the car.
