Step 1
Obviously take off the front wheels first. I have two hacks so i just take off the two front wheels at the same time.
Step 2
Clean up the brake callipers with the degreaser
Step 3
Cover parts with newspaper and masking tape. The blutak is for the rubbery part behind the brake pad, i didnt want to paint this red and it is hard to cover it with masking tape so just press the blutak to the edges of the brake caliper a interesting part that i found is that the suspension is made in germany and a good brand as well :eek:

Step 4
Paint the calipers red, u can do multiple layers of coating with around 10 minutes between each coating but i only do 2 coatings since it will take a long time to finish everything.

Step 5
Wait until the paint has dried completely and take off the newspapers and the bluetack. Get the white paint and the smallest brush that you can find and do the detailing on the Type r logo on the brake caliper, do this slowly and carefully since they are really small to do, you need to have good eyes. My work on the left caliper sucks, i learnt my lesson and the right one looks awesome
The result

Step 7
Do the same with the back brake calipers, should take less time since you dont need to do the type r detailing
