Hi everyone.

It appears I have 6 piston Alcon brake calipers on the front of my 2009 XKR. I would like to get them repainted in red, as they look a bit shabby. Does anyone now if there are any transfers that says, 6 piston ? thanks David

 

Google is a friend;

Caliper Decals on Google Search

 

Take a high resolution picture of it and get it transferred on hi-temp stickers before stripping the paint. Do they sell piston seal kits for the Alcon calipers?

I originally was planning to get the Alcon calipers repainted as well but I decided to give it a good clean and touch up the paint chips instead.

Remove the brake pads and clean with hot water, dishwashing soap and a toothbrush works a treat. I did use a steam cleaner as well but this is not really required.
Once cleaned I use high temp ceramic coating on the calipers and the rims just to make cleaning easier in the future.

 

My winter project....

Question for me is how to best mask the 'R' on there?

 

painters tape and cut around the logo.

 

Or paint over the R and sand off the paint then clear coat.

And yes rebuild kits are available. This model caliper’s quite common across other Marques.
