LCR 225 brake caliper colour

[matt_83]

Hi guys

I'm just in the process of creating a spreadsheet for all the work I want to do to my new LCR 225 (sad I know ). After doing a quick search, I've seen some members suggest Halfords red caliper paint for the calipers. The fronts just want a light wet sand and relacquer, the rears have paint flaking so I'll refurb them using red paint, then lacquer.

Thanks in advance.

Matt

hi,
is there a question ?

Haha yep sorry! Just read it myself now! D'oh!

What colour or specific paint would I need to paint the rear calipers in order to match the brembos on the front?

Thanks

i used a spray tin halfords red caliper paint on my brembo's. They came up great much better than trying to re laquer them as the paint really fades. You can get new decals off eBay too.

These were mine before and after

Ok, thanks for the advice
