Looks good, need to do mine at some point.

 

[mattyholmz89]

How did you do them? Send them off somewhere? Need to have mine done as the dark black/pink colour ain't doing it for me =/

 

[rob929]

Thanks. I did them myself. 3 coats of high temperature red followed by the brembo stickers then 3 coats of high temp lacquer.

At the risk of sounding like a idiot. Did i upload the pic correctly. All i can see on my first post is numbers where the pic should be.?
I really am useless with phones and computers. Give me a hammer or welder any day of the week.

All you had to do was delete the "calipers" at the end and add a "]" to close the image tag after "[IMG"

 

[rob929]

Thanks buddy. Will see if i can post pic of the other caliper

Looks great. I've seen a few (can't recall what car it was) that were bright green. I thought they looked great! Anyone done their Cupra R's in other colours? Be good to see how they look before I take the plunge...

 

[rob929]

Thanks mate. Was thinking about changing colour but i am really trying to go oem +

 

[eddie_cupra]

Which high temp lacquer did you use?

 

[rob929]

Stuff of ebay bud. Nothing special.

Did you sand them back and get all the old paint off first? Were the calipers in situ?

[rob929]

Yeah light sand and remove any loose old lacquer. Calipers were in situ. Cleaned off with brake cleaner and masked off carefully. I sanded the old brembo sticker off completely.

 

[briscoe]

Where and what paint did you use and which lacquer? Do you have links?
They look ace mate good job

 

[rob929]

Thanks mate. Aint got a link but here is a photo of paint and lacquer. Bought off ebay a while ago. Hope this helps

 

[briscoe]

Sweet cheers man yours look so bright red that's what I'm after the original bright red look not pink haha

May be a stupid question, but what size brembo stickers are needed for the front and back? I think they are different sizes and you can buy loads of sizes on eBay!

 

[rob929]

Hi mate. I didn't get stickers for the rear. Not brembo calipers so didnt want stickers. The fronts are 90mm.
This is a little bigger than standard but i think looks better. I think the original size is 75mm but i could be wrong.

Thanks mate! How difficult a job was it to do? Did it take you long? I imagine that sanding down was a pain because of all the curves and stuff
