These were done by BCS, they were completely stripped, refinished, all hardware replaced with new, hardlines were removed (not painted) and we're returned in a bag, but not replaced.

Seems like a decent finish to me! Fair enough, I was going by what I saw on their site. 

Are you happy with them? What was the turn around like? I bought their yellow kit and did it myself but it's started to go a bit gross in places where I didn't manage to do quite a good job as I wanted to. This is on the list of things to do, when I get my wheels redone too.

Yep very pleased with the finish, which is guaranteed too. Ask me next year if they work or not...

Next year ?? Ffs - they will be out of warranty - pull yer finger out

It bugs me how they paint hard lines in their gallery/vids, but if you say they didnt then that's fine they have a special on atm, we'll see how flush I am with cash and maybe do it after a rough winter - if they don't bug me before then!

You need to remove all hard lines for sure...that's at least what I did. There's no way to get a metallic caliper paint DIY-sprayed without having ugly paint runs etc.

Get it done from a professional paint shop and it'll look as beautifully as mine do:

Converted my EX 430 Roadster into a track tool and going to Spa-Francorchamps on March 16th.

Anyone joining?

Hi JPI, do you know what is the colour code on your calipers, and if the paint is heat protected ?

I am considering same mod on my Exige. 

I found a Foliatec kit with RAL 1036 colour but it seems to be darker.

Here is a before / after done with a software to give an idea, with same colour as JPI.

@Nico460 Honestly I would stay far away from any DIY kits like Foliatec stuff etc. for our cars?

 

But nice thread revival!  Why not pop over to the introduction section.   I see a Komotec EX460 roadster on Ohlins...no?

Yep, I will ask a professional to do it properly.
