Checked it the other day and it looked real good.

I heat cycled after painting and seems to have done the trick.

Looks awesome!

What's the heat cycle and how do you do it?

Cheers mate.

I messaged him about them, he reckons they've been sitting in the shed for about a year, could that be a problem? Maybe residual brake fluid still in the lines/calipers. Don't think I wanna pay 1400 for them either.

Sitting for a year probably isnt the best lol. But unsure whether brembos last better than normal calipers? The brake place I went to rekon that's how the piston seals break (by sitting around I.e. wreckers). If you can get them cheap enough then could possibly pay to get rebuilt? I think I was charged $275 for the standard 2 pots front...but would be more cause 4 pot.

Maybe pass and save the headache then :P

Might pay to get a quote from Race Brakes Sydney just to compare? Think they will be like $1500 for calipers/mounting brackets, $250 for braided lines F&R, then $550+ for T3s?

Yeah, how much would that set me back? The picture actually makes them look a lot worse than they actually are. They look great IRL.

The clear coat looks like it is peeling????

Some guys have just sanded the clear coat back a tad and then applied a new clear coat and it like looked mint.

Ask Steve or Phill cause I think one of them did this.

Can't remember who did.
