mplavery Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Thought i would post up some simple steps to give you that fresh look on your brakes. As we all know, middle of the Supra's discs always have surface rust which show up if you have after market wheels so this is what i did to solve the problem This is what they looked like before First thing, once you have the wheel off and secure by axle stands, get a wire brush and remove as much rust as possible Then clean with brake cleaner and give it a wipe Then clean the brake caliper with some sand paper and clean with brake cleaner When your happy, start masking the disc with masking tape so you dont get paint everywhere Now you can start painting the brake caliper and discs. I used Matt Black as i have Matt Black wheels but you can use any funky colours, Make sure you paint the face around where the wheel sits as you can still see some of the disc Just to finish it off i ordered some more heat proof SUPRA logos from ebay which you can choose your own colours, i have Yellow logos on mine And here you go, Nice clean looking brakes Edited May 14, 2011 by mplavery (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
