Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Lockdown paintwork

I've had time on my hands today so decided to paint the track rods on the Morgan.

I’ve done a bit of cleaning and painting today to kill some time.

I have recently taken my wheels off and cleaned my wheels and callipers but not to the standard you have done. Very impressed.

Nice work

+1 Nice work.

Love those red calipers Craig. What paint did you use and what preparation etc.?

Looks very nice Craig. Good idea to paint only half a caliper at a time, that's four Sundays taken care of

Excellent work Craig, that's some serious signwriters skills on the logo

Hi Richard

1) Sand face of caliper with 1,000 grit paper
3) Clean with methylated spirits
2) Mask up half the caliper
4) Apply one coat of Caliper paint (Halford 250ml £10.99) leave to dry for about 40 - 45 mins touch dry
5) Sand with 3,000 grit paper with a little water, and clean with methylated spirits
6) Apply second coat of paint.
7) Leave to dry for 48 hrs
8) Stick on Morgan high temp caliper decals (eBay)
9) Polish the face of the caliper

Good Idea painting the only front half of the caliper Craig. You cant see the back so it would have been a waste of time to paint the back.
