Polished brake calipers

[Tng21]

Hi fellas.

I recently saw a picture on the photo gallery of someone who's polished some brake calipers.

I work a lot of bmw e30 stuff, rockers, air flow metres and inlet manifolds.

Since seeing the pics of the brake calipers i asked about on a website to see what metal e30 calipers are made from

Ive been advised that they are actually cast iron calipers, are these gonna be possible to polish?

It is possible to polish every metal. Castet or not doesnt really matter.
I have done some brake calipers myself. They are hard to grind down but easy to polish. If they are really made of steel you shouild think about to powder coat/crome them after. Otherwise they could get rust.

yeah was thinking about seeing what kind of deal i can do with Grommit off this site as he does powder coating for the best protection against all the items i polish

hello m8,
like the pic smart as.
as i said on me oven section the big oven has progressed a little further, had to aquire the sheet myself and cut it with angle grinder, but as you know a garage without heating isnt too good, so i had to wrap up.
not a drama when the i get the oven up n runnin m8, we talked about that the other week.hoping things will speed up in the new year.break callipers need up and above the cleaning prep but look the bizz when done.
a lad here wants his Evo rocker covers pc'd but his engine bay hasn't any polishin parts(thought about bisiness for you).
i still have the pot blaster nozzle casing to repair,as a hole appeared obviously at the weakest point of the cast, going to try e-metal got an endless supply from the metal smith.but like you al think on a larger compressor as the one i have is ok for spraying etc, but av never heard of Rockwood its 50ltr 120psi

al have show ya my garages and my new spraying workshop at least it has a heater in each room but no electric points as yet.
am off to veg on the settee to try n get rid of this man flu.
talk to ya soon
