I would and am going to use the high temp lacquer, makes sense too, a normal lacquer will flake off after the constant temp rise and fall. There's plenty different brands out there to find one that is suitable

Yes, think your right. I'll see what I can find on the net

Nearly six hours this took me today, my two front brembos on the lcr. With this in mind id say make sure you know where the locking nut is before you start this so 5 and a half hours it took me

Before and after, happy with that, saved myself a few hundred quid too

To be fair they weren't too bad after id wire brushed them, went back to more of a red colour, saw a post on here saying that you can just lacquer them after a good clean, which i probably could have. But after spending half an hour taping up both sides i had to go all in. Might do another refurb guide on here, easy enough just takes time
