Doesn't take too long. My mate sprayed the brembo's on his Evo IV last night Metallic Black, took about 2 hours to do all of them and looks smart, all he needs now is the brembo stickers.

this should definately be a sticky as this affects nearly every cupra R

 

[jamie paton]

sorry just noticed it in the guides section, my apologies

 

[smoothuk]

did the fronts yesterday, OMG, i have not had brakes like that since i brought the car, really transforms it Decided to attack the rears today, 2nd coat of laquer is on, and waiting for it to dry, looks excellent so far, a whole heap easier than the fronts too, really worth the little extra effort

 

[CHRIS200]

Any pics???

 

[the_prophet]

did you just lacquer the rears or repaint them aswell? and get some pics up

 

[Funkyfin2000]

pics and a guide on backs as well please!

 

[smoothuk]

i will try snd get some pics up in the next couple of days. I dont have my own computer at the moment. I just cleaned them all, keyed them with 1200 grade paper, and then touched up any chips with red hammerite, and then laqured them with 4 coats. Look all shiny now
