And so it begins!

...guys on here might appreciate quality over quantity

In the main, I would say they do.

If I were having my calipers done, I'd be as anal about them as I could...

Either eay, the ones you've done already look tight...

[LEELEE81]

Might be an idea in the future,I've done a fair few in the past including the customer requests on the SLR production line at Mclaren.

Well see,get mine done as they will be far nicer that just a standard solid gloss finish and go from there

Mine are in about the same condition as yours. I was going to get some Stickers but would be interested in seeing your results. Without being modest: is it a case of being patient and taking care, or more of a specialist skill? The closest I've been to painting anything on any of my cars is spraying the hats on some brake discs with high temp paint...

Likewise if there's interest on here and you do end up doing a forum special then I'd be interested!

[spurtle]

P.S. good luck with those jobs - these cars appreciate being kept in top condition and examples with 'everything right' are hard to come by these days. Most are probably on here.

Solid credentials. Post some pics of yours complete when done. I'm sure they'll look stunning...

I think painting and I mean painting probably is a skill,I've been at it my whole working life I not really into messing about with normal everyday cars so kinda kept to all the nice stuff! Any who knows the slightest bit about paint will tell you it involves time and skill to produce quality.

Thanks very much,

I'm hoping after putting some time and effort into mine I'll be able to stand back and look at a nice honest example of a car I've always pined after

Some of my bike I painted recently





I could go on and on but gives you a firm idea of what can be achieved

Sexual chocolate.

[neilparf]

That's deep man, deep. Nice.

[sweegie]

Big

That 'busa looks great in those colours.

[LEELEE81]

Thanks. It's Nissan midnight purple

Is noting easy!?

The brake pad retainer pins have grown to be part of the caliper and with the help of some monkey beating at them in the past I'm having to actually drill them out after trying every trick in the book.

Happy joy

Nothing is easy because that would be way too easy.

Which book of tricks is one using? I may have a different one to you that you could try. I've collected many after owning the 6, none have really helped though if i'm honest.
