Wow, those came out great, wish I had a facility like that to take care of mine.


My rear calipers look fine but the front ones are faded bad. I'm thinking of removing them to repaint.

I did just that today and it sure is a long, tedious and painful process.
the calipers are hanging to dry right now and will clear coat tomorrow.
The cleaning part is the worse and takes forever!

6 cans of brake fluid, thinner and M600. I was not eco friendly during the process.

Best of luck!

On a side note, 1 week later, they are holding up fantastic. No signs of failure anywhere. I didnt want to have to go thru that again.
