When I first bought my evi they looked horrible.

I took a pocket screwdriver and scraped all the loose stuff off. Then I wire brushed the caliper and wiped it down with mineral spirits.

I used some high-temp engine enamel clear coat to cover them

It actually turned out very nice. They looked healthy again

I would say they kept their shine for another 8 months of spirited driving before they started to loose their shine.

Good luck

i might give that a shot for now but i think im might just pull them apart and paint them if i can find a stencil.

I was going to use the por 15 caliper kit. suppose to be good

if anyone has the stencil or know where to get it please link me or i will buy them off you if you have them.

re-painted Brembos and Einkes with new decals.
Bad photos, but I have a bad camera. But you get the drift.

I painted mine teal while they were still on the car:


They got all discolored when I took the car to the track:


Decided to take them off and do a little bit better job this time:
