I really like that house of kolor candy red - but I need something in a spray can. I imagine you have to use high temp paint and clear as well.
There's a write up in the How to section...

One of the powder coating shops in my area conveniently posted some powder coating color samples of what they have. Here are some ideas:

Powder coating is not recommended from Brembo's.

Is this just your opinion? I'd love to see something from the manufacturer warning against this.


Regardless though, Brembo apparently don't know what they're doing in the paint department if so many people have issues with their clear coat peeling off (myself included).

I plan to circumvent this issue by getting mine powdercoated. Then heat, brake fluid, etc won't matter. My calipers will still be looking show room perfect!

Not my opinion, i actually called brembo because i was going to rebuild one of my calipers. They ask me what happen and i told them the situation about my clear coat peeling. They recommend to paint but not to powdercoated. But just my 2cents, i actually ended up painting mine instead. It's your brembo so do as you please. good luck.

Anyone had problems buying from the Xenonmods store? I bought the brembo caliper stickers off of them about two weeks ago. I have never got my stickers and they wont return and email. I even opened a paypal dispute over it and have gotten no response from them.
