Believe me... my painting skills are not up to chargeable standards Mr. Green Mr. Green

Plus I'd deny you of that warm gooey feeling when you do stuff like this yourself... Thumbs Up

Have you tried asking your local spray shop? I'd expect £250 would cover it nicely...? RRS gone

Erm...... Your post above includes a link... I've been searching for a while, have also contacted Brembo and have found no-one who can help. I had a chat with the chap on yr link yesterday and he seems to know his stuff but his utterly rubbish website, which it littered with spelling mistakes and bad English, does not fill me with confidence. I'm still searching.....

I had axle stands under the chassis too. And the jack was bedded through the top layer of gravel and sat snuggly in the sand/compacted sub layer so pretty planted. I agree nit ideal but hobsons choice really, no Tarmac available near office nor house. RRS gone

I'll live without the warm gooey feeling...... Laughing

I am a city slicker in an apartment, no where to do anything like this and I certainly don't own a suitable jack....or even a paint brush Laughing

I thought about paint shop but do they know what they're doing with brakes? Don't want them taking them off to do it in case they put them back on wrong Shocked

Use a spray shop that also do accident repairs.

My local sprayshop also repair/tart up my local dealerships cars. RRS gone
