Is it even noticeable or is there no point going to that level of masking up..

Guest newl Guests Posted 04/01/08 02:34 AM Share Posted 04/01/08 02:34 AM Hey XF, I reckon that blue would probably look better than red on HgAg.

This is the result..... :lupie: :lupie: Edited 13/01/08 08:55 AM by Jmpin Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41344-brake-calipers-painted/page/2/#findComment-619987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
