Question about smooth finish

rousegk7 · 08-25-2008, 07:50 AM

Stephen,

I just got my new turbo brakes, and would like to get them coated, but I want them to be very smooth and "glossy" like brembo's etc.

Would I have to essentially polish the calipers like you would a manifold etc, then send them to you to get coated/cleared?

Thanks.

Josh

Pretty much. The smoothest I can get it is 320grit. Your best bet would be to polish it up if you want a real glassy/smooth finish with no casting burrs.

Ok, lol so with the limited extra time I have you should see them next fall at some point lol.

Can I polish it "too" much? I would hate to take it all the way to 2000 wet and then send them just to hear that the powder wont stick. . .

125k volts will make it stick
