My brake calipers went a bit white when I cleaned my wheels with wheel cleaner and got a bit on them. They'd probably go back to being ok with a wipe of WD40 but I thought about trying some of that coloured lacquer I've seen advertised.

 

Has anyone tried it? Is it easy to use? Does it give good results?

 

Or is in nasty and naff and best avoided?

I just used hammerite mate. Seems to stay on well enough!

funny you should bring this up i did mine at 1hr on the rears each 2hrs on the fronts each i did mine with foila tec red lacquer and looks lovely well worth the time involved probably do it quicker but i did about 5 coats of lacquer

 

1/clean callipers with brake cleaner and remove all residues

2/use fine paint brushes be careful not to paint discs and pads

3/apply 1st coat and it seems the brush picks the lacquer back up! but when 2nd coat is applied,with paitence it starts taking shape.

4/to finish sand over the nissan logo with fine sandpaper for a smart silver finish bling.

top tip dont sand logos until paint is fully dry like idident dodo :xxx:

greg ;)

nice one; thanks Greg.

 

I'll give it a go soon as I have a spare day.
