    We didn't, but probably wouldn't hurt, wound help the paint bond better.

    These i did on my SP23. Black with silver decals from Hot Car Stuff.

    I've been meaning to do the ones on the MPS and already have silver decals, but undecided if i should go black and silver and if i should do like Lambo green with black decals.

    They need new paint... I'm tossing up between black or red.
    Yes I know, they aren't on the car, but if you're going to have red brakes these are the ones you want. :P

    Blue is nice man, need to see it with the car in the same pix. Looks like a neat job. At least you didn't start a whole thread on it like some other members... It's just paint right???

    The focus green looks great! I am yet to spray my calipers....they need it badly though - probably do it once I go get new discs and pads

    For the MPS I used VHT "True Red" Caliper paint in a can. For the red BREMBO's I use a 2 pac Autothane from a spray gun.
    And for the RS Green. I got the paint code for the Focus RS Green (this colour is in 2 parts), Consisting of a base Green, top coat Pearl and I also used 2 pack (goes VERY hard) Clear also used my spray gun to apply.
