nice yah I did mine black too except i got the white brembo decals

 

so does everyone just think a normal red caliper paint would match the stock color well enough cause i believe im just doing one caliper right now cause the others are good

 

If your oem brembo stickers are still good you can skip the red paint. Just sand it lightly with some fine sand paper like 800 grit and clear coat it. The original red will come back with a clear coat.

 

really? what about the brake cleaner to get all the dust off? wont that take it off?

 

You don't need to SOAK the calipers in brake cleaner, just moisten a rag with it and quickly wipe it all down.

 

just did mine tonight!

i used 500 degree engine enamel

 

i'll hopefully get this done tomorrow

 

 

i did mine about 2 weeks ago and they are amazing.. took me bout an hour and they came out perfect . looks like i didnt even touch them .. and they are holding up perfect to the heat

 

whatever you do, make sure you do it right the first time.... the second tmie around is about 10x harder... you have no idea. I decided to change the color after i got tired of red... and then tired of black, the second time around was the biggest pain int he *** ever. If you get bored of the repaint, get it powdercoated instead.

 

FYI brembo dose not recommend powder coating the calipers

 

Nice color combos some of you guys have got here. I'd be interested to see a set in BBY or WW (probably hard to keep clean tho)

 

Hey, I just called Brembo directly and explained to the woman (Asanna) how my factory brembo calipers have the clear coat peeling (extrememly bad) and how Mitsu refused to service the issue when I was covered under warranty... so I am going to repaint them myself.....
I asked her for the Brembo decals for them and she said no problem and she will mail them right out to me (no charge) and that she will forward this information to the appropriate departments for further review on why this is happening to our calipers. she said i should receive a response back from them, but either way im getting free decals and it looks like most of you guys paid for them.....
just letting you guys in on some info.. thats all.
and sorry for jacking your thread

I would like to "resurface" the Brembo calipers to get back that OEM protective glaze. Anyone know how to do this? (I wouldn't consider taking them to Satan an option.)
