Looking good, which paint did you use?

Looks like you have done a first class job.

It might be worth buying some latex mechanics gloves as them hands will take some cleaning.

Got to do this to our z3 brakes to tidy them up, looks loads better

Your going to have to get those hands acid dipped & shot blasted to clean them up Jonny

Regards

Invest in some swarfega johnny

Lovely job. Need to do mine, but been putting it off as I want 325mm discs and calipers.

Calipers look great but I dont think you should have sprayed the disc surface.

Jonny, petroleum jelly can break down some rubbers, not a good idea to use this.

This.

Babies' bottoms and rubber seals are two very different things.

I'm afraid the advice is sound Jonny - same reason Vaseline should not be used as a lubricant with condoms

Clean it off - thoroughly - and use something else if you really need to

Not sure about paint on the discs either, but you've done a cracking job overall, the calipers look ace.

Grammar Stormtroopers incoming

Well done for the refurb JE - did those discs have the Mtec coating? I'm getting a set soon but won't pay the extra if they did and looked like that!

But great for stopping the lips getting chapped.
