AP Racing Discs

[Deezer-D]

My mate did them. They were brush painted with Hammerite smooth. He said they were a bit tricky due to the slightly bevelled edge to the letters and the Hammerite was quite hard to work with as it's quite thick. He did 4 thin coats leaving a day between each coat to dry.

Did you get you mate to paint them in the end or give them to a sign writer? they look awesome

Logos done and brakes being fitted on Friday. Thanks to everyone who helped me get to this point, cheers guys

[Deezer-D]

The guy who's painting the logos is going to do it with a brush so I'm trying to find a suitable paint to do them. Was thinking hammerite smooth or this stuff

Anyone suggest something suitable?
Cheers

I would mate, I dont know what I was thinking putting the heavy duty stuff on :banghead:

[Deezer-D]

Cheers for the info. I'll stick to Bilberry for cleaning the wheels then

[s.mac]

he used a 2 pack paint, I had one slight issue after 2 days, i put some acid on to clean the wheels, strong stuff and I noticed it started lifting the yellow on a letter, washed it straight off and touched it up, Ive never used the stuff again and they are still all good, even after numerous track days. No discolouration or lifting :smt001

He made a cracking job of them. Got a mate who's pretty handy with an airbrush so looking to get him to sort the logos. Did Bob the Brush use heat resistant paint for the logos or doesn't it matter?
Cheers

a local (traditional) sign writer
no word of a lie, he was called BOB the brush :hahaha: £30 or £40 quid, I think from memory...
just for the yellow bit

[Deezer-D]

They look mint. Who did your logos?

[s.mac]

I think they look better with logo after refurb

Got the discs back from Questmead last week. The bells aren't in perfect nick but have cleaned up pretty good. Will give them another going over myself before they get fitted. Great service from Questmead, thanks to all the guys who recommended them. Crap pic -



Also got the calipers back from Ian @ Godspeed. Had them stripped, primed, painted, seals cleaned and 6 pistons replaced.
I've got a mate who can airbrush the logos yellow but not sure if I should or just leave them as they are. Comments welcome.



Just need to get them fitted now

[Deezer-D]

Spoke to Questmead and they have removed the old discs from the bells. They also took them to AP Racing to get their opinion on the bells before fitting the new discs. AP gave them the thumbs up so the new discs were being bolted up on Thursday. Should have them next week depending on the weather. Also sent the calipers to Ian @ Godspeed to have them refurbed and repainted black (wasn't keen on red). Got a mate who's pretty handy with an airbrush so will get him to do the AP Racing logos.
Will post some pics when I get them back.
