Default 6 pots refurbed

I have a set of wilwood 6 pots that could do with repainting could anyone recomend anywhere in the north east who could do a good job.
I would try myself but would make an arse of repainting the letters on them.

Cheers

Don't know yet I have just taken them in partex against a set of 336mm tarox 6 pots that didn't quite fit under my 17's.

I'm going to get the rotors skimmed, fit new seals to the pistons , fit new pads and hopefully get them painted bright red with white lettering instead of silver and red.

I hope after that they should work much better than the standard size ebc's I removed.

Thanks for the tips Beefy, Rob.
I dropped them off this afternoon with Jacko and karl, sound lads there going to blast and paint the calipers and get the discs skimmed for me.

Seal kit is a very reasonable £17 from rally Design
