Hi fella

I used bigred.co.uk to re-con the calipers on my three door and they done a fab job.

What they give you is an option of caliper finishes, the best being the dark grey teflon coating, which is baked on & looks great.

Maybe worth giving them a call

Thanks but I tried them, they cant do the two colours , thanks though

Hi S.Mac

I left a message with the company in Birmingham. They have shutdown for Christmas so am not expecting to hear anything till the first week in January.

From reading the other posts though, £280 is ball park though for a proper job. ie. having them baked afterwards.

Best

Jonathan

Update on the painting

So I put the plastercine in place on sad looking callipers

only for my mate to say if we left it to dry then removed the plastercine the paint may lift in the local area, which would not be good.
Plan b
take an etch and get some reverse decals made up

Whilst they were getting done, paint the callipers, not very good pics and the paint is a lot better than it looks in the pics

Decals made and stuck in place

nearly there, time to mask them up and try the yellow lettering, fingers crossed !

BTY - I'm not doing the actual spaying when Ive got a mate who's good at it

**TMAQ** · 07-01-2010, 05:26 PM

looks good so far, i wont risk the plasticine knowing that now. red lettering would look good too, not as good as the original yellow though

phat///M3 · 08-01-2010, 01:19 PM
