well i finally did it..tell me what you think!

 

Totally dig it, too bad you lost the brembo badge. Still love it tho'

 

yea i did lose the brembo badge but ehhh... it's ok...sleeper! haha...

 

What paint did you use?

 

You can buy the badges if you want

 

just went over to pep boys and bought some 1200F paint. cost about 5 bucks.

 

looks great... what kind of prep did you do? I was thinking about doing that when my calipers started to fade of chip. Did you think about doing a write up?

 

yea i was thinking about doing a write up but i didnt feel i had enough pix to do so. but here was my process.

1. cleaned off caliper really well with rubbing alcohol and cottons *****. give a nice clean smooth surface.

2. cover up the nearby paint with newpaper. i used blue painters tape to stick to the car.

3. i used blue painters tape on the top of the caliper to cover up the actual break pad itself. and used more newspaper to cover up the rotors.

4. sprayed on the 1200F degree paint evenly throughout the caliper. repeat if desired.

5. let dry, usually take about 45 minutes. then put wheel back on and your ready to go!

i did no sanding, i did not take of the caliper, i just cover everything, cleaned and sprayed, and it looks great to me.! i'll try to answer any questions you guys have.

 

Where do you get the badges from ?

Will they hold up to the high heat from the calipers?


Thanx

Derek

 

So you painted the calipers while they were still bolted on?!?!?

 

looks good

 

I like the way that turned out. My clearcoat is coming off my calipers and I don't think they will be replaced under warrenty so I'll probably be painting mine soon too. I'd also like to know where to get the new Brembo logos.

 

I would repaint mine if I could get the brembo logo too.

 

nice. looks real stealth. 90% of the comments i get on my evo are about the breaks just because they are huge and red. leave the brembo logos off to keep it stealth

 

thx man..i love the way it looks now. just waiting for the windows tints, blackout headlights and tails, then ill take another pic but of the whole car in high resolution.
