    Default Fix needed

    Hey guys

    Been painting my new Brembos to matc my current theme. This is the result of one of them


    Problem is that I got a bit carried away with the clear on the other one and it has done this


    Notice where the clear has pooled in the middle of the lower face. How should I go about trying to remove that.

    The way I painted these was to roughen up the calipers with a scothchbrite, apply a primer, paint the colour (not heatproof) and then heatproof clear. I worked on the principal of the existing brakes on the car. The existing stock brakes had a heatproof applied, then a different colour heatproof applied 12 months later and then this simple green from Bunnings. In just under 12 months, the green from Bunnings is still going strong. Using that theory, I figured the silver of the existing Brembos, plus primer, coats of green and heatproof primer should be sufficient. We'll see.

    Have you got a solution for the pooling of clear? I'd love to hear. I thought of just using some wax and grease remover and then applying some more clear or would I be better off simply rubbing back with scotchbrite, some more green and then clear

    Rub it with some fine paper like 1500 or 2000 on the high spot and then try using a cutting compound.
    If not then scotch the whole thing and re - clear. Try not to rub the green at all. If you do rub through the green then it's all back to square one.
