McRic Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 whatever colour you go do the drums n calipers the same or it'll look daft imo, I done mine gold, twas over a year ago now so they're lookin a bit rough, but when they were first done they just look very clean and subtle not too in yer face,you can just see my caliper in my sig pic, Hammerite is the best stuff for the job feck buyin these kits that are a rip off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escort si Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 for drums get a wire brush/wet and dry paper. works a treat. Or even just get the rust romover pads that ya can get from halfords, worked a treat on mines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_van_matt Posted September 17, 2003 Author Share Posted September 17, 2003 Sounds like a plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
