Hi

The camera is my trusty Nikon D200... a bit "old" by todays standards but a well made body. Lense is a 18-200, which equates to 28-300mm in old money. Its not always easy to get the right shots when you want to get the job done - so some shots could be much improved...

Paint? - Hamerite smooth gold - and a 1/2" brush. I have always found you dont need to get every surface or indeed the whole caliper to look good.... which perhaps appears sloppy, but the end effect is good. Worth getting a tin of brake cleaner too - just to clean them up before painting.

Smooth Gold

Brake cleaner

The brake cleaner is available from tyre typical high street car shop - usually in 300 or 500ml tins.
