 | re: How to paint calipers Yeah, those 2-tone do look interesting  Did have an idea to do "FIAT" in white lettering over the red, but probably rather fiddly and may not have the time. Shall at least do the red this weekend (hopefully) and perhaps at a later date do the Fiat detailing

| | re: How to paint calipers Well, I've finished them, took ages to do, but look pretty good. Missed out a bit on the back callipers, but looks fine I reckon. Annoying though...the front driver's side wheel had the bolts over tightened, to the extent that the tyre wrench split at the top  Got the Fiat dealership that tightened them up wrongly, to loosen the offending bolt and can pick up a new wrench from the scrappy for next to nothing.Anyway, here's some of the process pics ...
