Restoring Our Brembo's To beautiful Conditon!!!

Ok so i love brembo's don't get me wrong! But you all gotta admit there paint dosent last very long and i love to keep my car clean! So all these people do step by step write ups and i thought might as well be nice and help others out if they ever would need anything like this. I actually searched the forum and didnt find much! I hope this helps someone bc i put alot of time into this. But yea it you have some crappy looking brakes you should deff invest into this. Plz comment and let me know if i did anything wrong. Thanks guys!

Yea if its your daily driver you might as well do it all at once! But i did it one at a time! It just takes alot of time so i would do 1 caliper per night! But it was so worth it!

Nice write-up, but not sure where you searched on the site. In the How-to's section there is a thread on this already.

Question.

Did you cover up the pads before painting or did you remove them?
Don't think paint would really effect it but just curious
