    KAD 6 pots refurb,

    I decided that the matte bright Orange colour of the calipers wasn't too my taste, so i began stripping the paint off with rough grit and a screwdriver, it took about 2 hours per caliper to get them cleaned up ready for priming, underneath was a lovely original anodised Red, now i can see why KAD do not re anodise the calipers shame though as they do look good in the Red and the Blue, I primed the calipers yesterday and today i managed to get the enamel on one of the calipers, the KAD lettering and the bolts are going to be painted luminous Yellow just for contrast, I still have to do the bells yet, they will be Blue with Yellow bolts as well,

    Looking good Gary. Do you want me to sand blast them or are you happy as they are with the new paint?

    Will do Chad,
    Thanks Alan, but i really like them as they are, coming to think of it, it would've taken 10 minutes to sand blast them lol,
