hey guys just wondering if any one knows of anyone who can strip brakes in welly?

when i say strip i mean the paint..there already taken apart...just need to be stripped. could probably do it my self..but seeing as this is what stops me im not to keen to play with em like that lol.

or has anyone done this them selves in the past? any help would be great.

OH AND i also need v7/8 wrx rear hubs.....so if anyone knows where i can get em please let me know....

I bought soem caliper paint from repco, i think it was dupicolour of something, came with paint stripper that worked really well, just paint on and wipe off later, i also used a wire brush on a grinder to get some of the stubborn stuff off, the calipers have been painted for a couple months now but are still to be used...

Yeah if you just want get paint off, use paint stripper. It's what i used on my wheels. Brush on, clean off. Just don't get it on your fingers or clothes!

Otherwise get them sand blasted.

Hm true..what about residue? Did it leave any inside the brakes etc?

i would buy a rebuild kit,leave the calipers together,use paintstripper/gasket stripper, sand/wirebrush, then clean using brakeclean and compressed air,dry,paint,dry,dismantle,clean,rebuild

hm true...well there already taken apart...

hm think ill just sit at home in the sun...buy a box of beers...take some sand paper home from work...use a wire brush and take my time....haha

its mainly the residue i dont want on the inside of them...only thing im worried about tbh :-\

i may just be being paranoid but mehhh

No it didnt leave any residue on the brakes as I didn't do it on the car haha.. did them on Ben's lawn!

As long as you clean them off they'll be fine. Brakecleen will be good for that.
