Golf_GT_TDI recommended me this company as they do many colours in spray form/liquid. I will be using them to when I evetually get round to refurbing my calipers :rolleyes: Golf_GT_TDI says they gave him really good customer service, haven't heard anything about the quality of the paint though, I can't imagine it being any worse than hammertie which a lot of people normally use!

Awesome stuff just what I needed :smiley:
Should be getting the VRS calipers for my 256mm setup tomorrow. Bigg Red are referbing them and have lcr bembos on the front so want them to match.

Oh oh, please tell how you get on with the bigred caliper refurb! I am doing my own, shot blasting the caliper and carriers, will be painting my self. Then all I will need is one of there caliper refurb kits x2! How much is this costing you may I ask :wink:
-
I was going to do it myself with one of those kits but didnt really know what I was doing so just bite the bullet and sent them off.
It was £130 with the shock blasting back to the bare metal and reconditioned.
Will let you know what there like once I get them back :smiley:

Have you sent em off yet...I'll do the shot blasting for cheaper :wink: Is that for all 4? What does the refurb consist of? New seals, bleed nipples etc etc?
-
Already sent them off mate and nope thats just for the rear :sad:
Consists of new seals, nipples, pistons and slider pins if needed I think. Will know tomorrow, paid for them today so they will come tomorrow they said.

You got a fresh new set of discs and pads? If so what combo? :wink:

Cheers I wish id taken pictures of them before.
Discs came with them when I bought them, they have still got a lot of life in them but not sure what make they are but will use them.
Need new pads tho, prob just going to get the pagid ones from eurocarparts.
Will be a good setup tho brembos with ferodo on the front and these 256mm and vrs calipers on the back, ate superblue and braided lines all round.
Just need to paint them to match the brembos on the front

Ordered a red brembo paint kit for my rear calipers so they match the front and it came and have been painting them up tonight.
