VR6Rich 3 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Looks a lot better! Couldnt you have removed the spring clips? Or mask them off?What did you use to paint them? Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Once you take them off, they're buggers to get back on again unless you unbolt the whole caliper. Next time you change the pads, just paint the spring clips black while they're off.Nice finish on the calipers though. What did you use to paint them? Been thinking about doing mine blue to go with the R32 wheels. Link to post Share on other sites
