Client requested brake calipers to be painted. Wheels were removed and calipers were cleaned/degreased with Bilt hamber Surfex HD and brake cleaner. Each caliper recieved 3 coats and this was with the aid of a heat gun to speed up drying between each coat. Whilst wheels were off inners were treated to Zaino AIO and Zaino CS

Apart from when I was multitasking whilst driving and clipped a kurb on a corner and took a slight scuff, only minor but cant stand any inperfections. So went in for a full dip, strip and respray. Then on inspection its wasn't perfect, so going back in on monday. Dont mess with me! :hahaha: :thumbs:
