Painted brake calipers and drums
The move from steel wheels with plastic covers to aftermarket alloys for my Ibiza in August last year, made the front disc brake calipers and rear brake drums visible. The calipers were no longer silver and the drums were matt grey with surface rust - not a good look.
So, last week I bought a yellow Foliatec brake caliper lacquer kit and a spray can of smooth finish gloss black Hammerite. I brushed on a couple of coats of the caliper lacquer and sprayed the drums with a couple of coats of Hammerite.
The following photos were taken today whilst the sun shone.
