Wasso Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Okay so you know I love polishing things..... Well.... I've decided to go for a one off Polished Brembo Project. These will 'eventually' be totally polished and sealed. So I thought I'd make a quick start this morning, sanded and brought back up with compounds. The finish is only a quick test to make sure I can get te desired effect, which once I get them stripped I'll give them the greatest of attention. Here's a couple of starting pics. To note these will be done over the next 3 months, with a view to vein sold once they are polished. I'll update as progress ensues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) You lot crack me up, polish a turd although saying that I may just give that crap a polish The sealing of the caliper to protect it will be high temp lacquer, exactly that which appears on our calipers. If you're interested I could bring my polishing gear for your bonce Smudge, if you need your car polishing have a chat with Pristine Detailing I'm really hoping they will look epic and one of a kind, my inspiration was something like below. Updates will follow as they happen Edited November 11, 2012 by Wasso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgedon Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I don't want machine polishing, I want you to make it chrome I'll be seriously interested in these one they're done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) I don't want machine polishing, I want you to make it chrome I'll be seriously interested in these one they're done! I think I'd need a giant polishing wheel and a truck load of compound. Can't see why it couldn't be done, but then your bumpers and pillars etc are plastic. Best go with a chrome wrap. They won't be for sale until next year, because there seems to be 4 layers of coating, lacquer, primary colour, base coat and a further base under that. Some serious volume of paint! I hope they will look the nuts when done. Thinking maybe black red or blue Brembo overlay stickers. Edit - or PURPLE!

spursmaddave Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 With that amount of work I would say the asking price starts at £1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Will bung you a tenner to polish my bonce A tenner, with that amount of surface you're at least looking at £20 and a pint! My gearbox could do with a polish!! GEARBOX! but you can't see it?? Price will depend on how many hours or days it takes I guess. I'll be taking them apart over the next week or so to have them sand blasted, in fact that should shorten the process considerably, might even be ready for Christmas.

rtbiscuit Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 might be best to send them off to be chemically dipped, have a look at bigredd, and ask them just to do the first part. would save you dome work and give you a clean start point. also if you need brembo logos doing drop me a line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
