Red 855 t5, and Yellow Caliper's??

**merc85** · Saturday 5th January 2013, 17:29

Well crappy weather we are having, and the t5's brakes looking worn , so decided to give them a lick of paint.

Perhaps not to everyones taste, but hey i like it so i painted them Yellow, Although will be needing rear disc's soon.

To top it all off found a screw in the nsr tyre! doh going ot get that sorted tomorrow.

Hammerite Smooth Gold is the colour for standard type sliding calipers! Factory and tidy!

The yellow still looks good though.

**Nealevo** · Saturday 5th January 2013, 18:24

Gav, if it was a Porsche you'd have paid lots extra for yellow, so they get my thumbs up...
