Painting new 4 pots....

Im far from a professional but im just going to outline what I done with my new 4 pots before fitting them.

Firstly they were galvanise dipped when they arrived.

I taped off the piston areas so as to avoid getting any spray on the seals etc.

Then I gave them a good coat of ETCH primer.

After that I gave them two coats of Halfords radiant red spray.

I then coated them with a nice coat of Halfords lacquer.

After that I had already gotten SUBARU decals from e bay so I applied them and then gave a final coat of lacquer over them to make sure they stay put!.

And that was that. I really like them and hopefully they will look good and greatly improve my stopping power!!

They are reproduced calipers not original
 
Actually they are genuine ones refurbed my mtec brakes up north. I didnt fancy the idea of trying to paint the white Subaru so I had it ground off them to have a flat surface for my decals.
 
They look great. I've a set in the garage the last year or so, and I want to do the same job on them. But I figure they're prob seized up at this stage so will have to get them rebuilt.
