New Brembo color

I finally got to painting my calipers this weekend. I had the common problem of the clear coat coming away from the caliper so they looked pink. Instead of just putting a new clear coat on I decided to go with a different color. I picked silver with a carbon fiber brembo decal. I only had enough time to do the drivers side front though. If anyone wants me to I’ll do a little write up and take some before, during and after pictures tonight when I do the other three I will. Let me know what you think.

nice nice, I might have opted to removed the brembo decal all together to go with the alcon look but I like them non-the less. Nice job man

edit: I bet different rims would show them off better too

I was thinking about it but I'll probably just buy new wheels. That is further down the line though as my wife gets crazy when I talk about doing anything to the car.

I considered a bunch of different colors. Yellow was one that was high on the list but it wasn't all that available in a spray paint. Silver was readily available and I think it has a classic look.

I'll do that tonight. Though it will probably be pretty short. There's not much to it, just time consuming.
