Heyo

Just wondering, i gotta long weekend, 2morro im gonna paint the calipers, just a quick question? Is it perfectly fine to paint over the brake pads, with the paint and gloss coat, or is it better to swing the caliper and remove the pads first???

Cheers

Hey Jordan.

Do it properly .... don't paint the Pads .... that just looks crappy and totally unprofessional.

Here are mine if your looking for inspiration .... My RA Brakes .... 1/2 way down the page.
