We recently
refurbished a set of calipers from an R33 Skyline, for a client with
a specific colour scheme in mind. Unfortunately, the materials to
complete such a project are not even available in the UK! We
therefore imported the powder from our friends across the pond – a
special effect two stage burnt metallic orange finish, which explodes
into life when the sunlight hits it.
The calipers were
stripped, and the parts to be replaced, including inner and outer
Brembo seals, were sourced from the original part numbers - as a
listing for these did not exist. After an acid bath to remove all
grease and coatings from the calipers, the bores were protected and
the surface blasted for a clean substrate.
The powder was shot in two
stages with a bake in between at 200c for full curing. We then
rebuilt and pressure tested the calipers, before applying custom cut
logo decals to finish.
