Bianco2564 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm rebuilding a spare pair of calipers for my M3.Used my hobby compressor and cheapo Aldi spray gun for the first time and pretty pleased with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 That's a good finish, is it high temp paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianco2564 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just some Halfords enamel paint I found in the garage mixed with a bit of white spirit to make it sprayable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) I'm continuing with the garage tidy.Mounted saw on wall, and made a pop out support for minor jobs so it can be used in situ, support is going to double as beer/tea holder, mostly beer.

Bianco2564 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 M3 calipers rebuilt; new pistons,seals and bleed nipples. New flexi hoses on order. I have just replaced the front discs and pads so thought I'd make a garage clock from one of the discs.Clock mechanism and an M3 sticker on order.Want to get a BMW round logo sticker of 160mm in diameter to stick in the centre and I am going to put the M3 sticker at the 3 o'clock position.
