Title: Touching up brake calipers
Post by: scoff on October 11, 2013, 08:59 PM

Anyone got any hot tips for touching up brake calipers, I know they are mx1000 copies, but I'm sure I can save them with a little help?

Black nail varnish can be good for the odd chip, a few thin layers then t cut will bring it up a treat. Other than that strip and repaint  :daumenhoch:

edit: beaten to it... great minds and all that  :daumenhoch:
