the black on black look sick

 

dont have time to read all the post but i had a question. when you guys powder coat the calipers do you take them apart and rebuild them or just sand ans powder the caliper as a whole?

 

To answer your question 03lan-evo, I believe most people don't powdercoat they just use High-Temp spray paint. Some take it all apart, some do it while the caliper is in place. I'm gonna do it in-place because I'm lazy, have never dissected brembos, and I think it will turn out fine that way regardless. One can only see the face of the caliper through the wheel spokes anyway.

If anyone could answer my question at the bottom of page 12 that would be appreciated!

 

older pic of my evo. powercoated valve cover and brake caplipers.

 

03lan-evo, I spoke with someone at Brembo before I did mine and they said not to take the caliper apart, but to use the brembo coating as a primer and keep the caliper together.

 

I'm thinking I'm going to paint my calipers Gold on my TB. I know Duplicolor has caliper paint but the only color options I've seen from them are silver, black, red, blue, and yellow. Where can I get hi-temp Gold paint?

 

Box Rocket,

I used VHT paint http://www.tcpglobal.com/spraypaintd...per-paint.aspx, they offer a gold color and the paint is good up to 900 degrees. I am really happy with the results. You can see my step by step here.

 

gold?

 

Thank you sir! Just what I needed.

 

I went with red on black i think they turned out really good

 

i want it to be a really good bond so i think im still going to sand blast them ill just do the 3 coats of primer then 2-3 coats paint then 2 clear. man thats alot of paint LOL

the VHT clear sucks in my opinion i used it on the stock red and it turned them really ugly red after they were dry

the evo just sits in the garage so ill get them done soon and post some pics.

 

SWEEEEET! anymore pics?

 

Hey sarge,

You can just search "hi-temp brembo decal" on ebay and there are a few places that sell them, thats where I got mine. Or you can go the stencil route.

 

Duplicolor has Engine Enamel in Universal Gold. It's hard to find, I had to call around and ONE store had A can left. I think it turned out well. Much more reflective than the stock red.

 

Thats a funny whoops. After you put on the decal, throw a couple of light coats of clear on and you are good to go.
