evinX Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi all, ive had my callipers painted twice in hammerite black, 1st attempt wasnt great so done them again which i was happy with. Now i want to change the colour but i dont want to apply a 3rd layer, and want to strip that thick paint away. Dont know how to remove callipers so thats a no no. Any ideas on paint strippers, or would a wire brush connection for a drill do the job, want to get at those bolts at the rear to, but im not sure! Heard of people using brake fluid? wouldnt that melt all the rubbers seals away?? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 just a hand wire brush till you get though most of it and till its smooth, thats what i did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 the wire brush wont affect the bare metal + paint finish with rough lines? did you use sand paper, shouldnt be a problem as im going for hammerite hammered silver, but id like to try my best at getting a smooth surface cheers for that info bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
