My locking wheel nut saga all started because I wanted to repaint the calipers. Well I eventually got it sorted and so this afternoon painted the calipers - they had been daubed silver at some point in the past I wanted them Graphite with Brembo rather than Range Rover decals.

Three photos, before, after and WIP very easy job.

Work in progress

Perfect Job, well done

I'm contemplating this myself but did not realise the 'range rover' is a decal - I thought it was an indent in the casting.

Are the decals easy to get hold of?

Any recommendations on the paint used? the graphite looks very smart.

Nice to see a generous helping of copper grease on the hub - signs of good care.

Yep, Ebay was where I got all my stuff from, plenty of colours to chose from, job was a doodle to do (after getting the troublesome locknut off). A couple of hours per side (you have to wait for the paint to dry between coats) but probably only really 1/2 an hour doing something.

I also used the hydraulic jack I bought and modified as well as the wheel alignment tool thingy from Miggit - the T - Bar is overkill all worked like a charm.  Geoff

Not sure if original "Range Rover" is a decal, I could make it out under the paint as I was rubbing down but it wasn't raised at all so maybe its paint. Geoff

Its anodised i believe Geoff

Geoff , mate, the T bar is just in case the chap who did your wheel nuts up gets hold of the Giude-o-Matic, otherwise there would be tears before bed time  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
