Thanks for the pics fellas! Red it is! Bought the paint from SuperCheap this morning!

It's raining off and on today so I don't think I'll get to it. We'll see though! I might get to the fuel filter at least!

No worries kenz,

I'm going with red on both. We'll see how that goes. I actually suspect the red on red will look quite good!

We'll see soon enough!

Hope your recovery from the flu is both full and swift!

This is how you do it Jeff! I suspect you're running rda rotors? They don't have the drum section painted as the Dba's do.

I'll be doing it all again for the SR in a few days, but instead of the hand held wire brush, I'll be using one of these! Much better! Just hook it up to the drill.

Enjoy!

They look good Duffy, however the gaps in my rims won't allow that sort of detail to be picked up easily. Your rims have gaps large enough to drive a semi through! LOL!

Calipers on the SR fronts are being painted red as we speak, er type!

I'm not going to do a "how to" (I don't think anyway - others have done a very good job of this) but I will post a pick or two I think!

Here you go, the fronts are done, the rears maybe tomorrow.







Pity I don't have Tickford 17's, I can hardly see the fruits of my 35 degree labour! LOL!

Cheers!

I'm the guy riding, the other bloke is my English mate Jago! Top bloke indeed!
