As a few of you are aware I do enjoy refurbing brake calipers
The main part and the one I hated the most was cleaning the crud off them- was very time consuming and never knew if you had it all off - so a mate has started doing vapour blasting - gawddammed its so good

Had a fair few set of caliper bodies done and you get them back in a practically ready to paint state - fella charges me £30.00 a set and that is 4 halves and the stainless covers happy to pass any onto him or anything else you may want done at cost

Does come up nice doesn't it?

Wow. Now that's the way to clean and prepare something for painting for sure. Impressive.

Brilliant job.

Wow,

Well worth the £30 to get them that clean :onya:

By pure chance have a vapour blasting business across from my work. His brain is vapour blasted, has the attitude of a chinese firecracker. Its a great idea so will search another. Lots of bits id like done. Pity about having one so close owned by A.R.Sole.

@froudy Your not kidding mate and saves me hours of cleaning and decontaminating I really tempted to just clearcoat a set to see how they turn out

@Del

I think the clear coat would probably blister in time. I'd still go for etch primer and then top coat :onya:

Del, I'm very lucky we have an aqua blaster at work. Brings the parts up beautiful, when I took all the parts for powdercoating the guy said it would be a shame to cover them they looked so good. He said about clear powdercoating them but the clear can sometime turn milky/cloudy when it comes out the oven. So went with the red.
