Hi to everyone on the FRP site, just been to Donno show and there was a racing puma there with the best looking brakes, They were enameled in blue and the ford logo was picked out in red and the alcon in white. Does anybody know where he had them done. They looked tremendous, made my ST brakes look drab.

sounds like they were painted and laquered in Imperial blue....

looks great for a while.... never been a fan of the red and white lettering... always looks a little 'DIY' to me...

painting the larger alcon lettering in silver looks quite nice and a neater finish can be had.... a pen dipped in some silver hammerite works (and lasts) pretty well...

Painted the alcon logo silver on mine about 6 years ago (with smooth hammerrite), still looks ok now :)

Thanks for the replies, am still looking for a racing puma, just keeping an eye out for a good one.
I still think that the interior is one of the best that ford have ever done

We were parked next to that FRP in our one!

The brakes did look good, I'll find out where he had them done and how they did them for you.

I'll post back soon!
