    URGENT-detailing helpline

    Hi guys/gals,

    think i have finally lost the plot

    started detailing unusual parts of the car today such as the ......door lock, wheel arch.

    gonna paint the rear calipers/carrier bracket tomorrow. may even paint the disc hub and brake pad backing plate to clean them up.

    Dear oh dear, this detailing lark is taking over.......Help.lol

    Brian

      Please don't paint the rear caliper to match your fronts, paint them a subtle colour (black is good) as if you do them red all it will show is you have stock rear brakes.

        Good thinking.

        Plus black is black, wheras if i try and match the red of the rears with the fronts, it may end up going wrong wont get the same quality effect of your paint

        BTW, better not mention what shade of red you used on my monoblocks

          You were sworn to secrecy on the colour and remember you don't want THE photos releasing and I won't mention anything and the sheep

            When you start removing things like that to get at the dirt in and around them, then you have to worry.

              Perfectly normal Brian, you have nothing at all to worry about. Have you polished the brake lines in the engine bay yet, brushed "stripes" in the carpet pile with the hoover or taken the instrument cluster out to clean out the dust yet?

              If not you are still an amateur!

              See you soon mate.

              Cheers,

              Steve.

                Fatty says that's normal. It must be time to worry then Brian.
