Painting my brembos Finally?

Well after thinking about it for a couple of months and trying 20 or so dealers to fix my calipers and talking with Brandon from Brembo America. I finally started painting my brembos. I started on Veterans Day and it took me two days and I just got one done. I only did one at a time just as a test bed. I should get the other three done this weekend. Here are few pictures.

looks good, i just hope it isn't on a BBY Evo, if your Evo is LY (like your avatar) i think the color combo works.

brembos

I went to ebay and typed in Brembo stickers and it came up with items. The company on the letter was from XENONMODS.com. So you can buy it from them or on ebay. They are high temp stickers the backing says good to 500 degrees. They are same ones that everyone else is using. I also seen it in the (How to section of EVOM).

Redud,


The next time aim for sand blasting and powercoating with high temp protection. It is cheap and durable and you can choose from xxxxxx colors.

No I sanded completely through the clear and took about half of the red off smoothing everything out. Then I used some high temp primer in a paint gun. Then I used blue type high temp caliper paint then put the stickers on and then cleared them. I'll let them sit for about 7 days and then Clear them again. Then wait 7 more days until the paint is cured and they'll be good. I painted my Talons brembo calipers I took from a 3000gt vr4 and they never chipped or faded or peeled. I drove the hell out of those brakes. So hopefully I have same good luck here. Have you guys Brembo and talked to Brandon. He'll tell you why there peeling. Its really a combination of events that unfornately that Mitsu won't admit to. Like not using high temp paint or clear, not letting them cure long enough.
