AP Calliper Paint

s.mac · 18-12-2009, 03:08 PM

I've just got my AP brakes back from the longest recon ever ! they could do with another coat of paint now they are clean

Has anyone had there's re painted and if so any recommendations where I can send them, with an approximate cost for all 4 ?

Thanks

After the same thing, mine are turning silver, bit reluctant to DIY it. Thorney can repaint but not sure of the cost.

Ive emailed AP and 2 others, I will let you know. I thought about DIY

Hopefully I will have some feedback on Monday

Yellow calipers with black AP writing could look nice on a SB car

Thank you for your enquiry,

Unfortunately Re-Painting is something we do not cover, most customers just use caliper paint that you can buy from Halfords of some car accessory place.

Sorry Steve...

it was only a thought

I'm going to have a go myself, I've filled the yellow AP writing with plastercine and used a craft blade to get the excess off, I'll paint the rest Black again or Silver, not sure yet.

If it all goes wrong I'll send them down to be done properly in the New Year ......

bluetack or plasticine should do the trick keeping the lettering clear, try and get some pix if you can s.mac might DIY it myself.
