    Sanding Calipers with the PC

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I painted my calipers using a combination of graphite gray and red, but that rough finish of the calipers material does not convince me at all.

    Has anyone tried to sand the calipers using the PC or sanding by hand maybe before painting? If so, maybe a DIY would be nice!

    I want to have a smooth finish in the caliper, I think it looks much better.

    i used a disc grinder when shaving my calipers which resulted in a smoother finish. you can kinda see how its smoother at the top and bottom of the caliper than it is in the middle. a sander may work but i think it would take a long time and wouldn't be worth it. if it bothers you that much i say go bbk they all seem to have a smooth finish
