Just finished mine and thought I'd share a few pics. I will get more on the car pics tomorrow.

 

Nice!

 

I powdercoated these myself for a friend, the color is super mirror red






the reason there is only 3 in the last pic is because i am redoing the last one cuz im not happy about the way it came out

I'm gonna do mine next candy red

Anyone want theirs done let me know :-)

 

If you know how to bleed brakes and use hand tools you shouldn't have any trouble. Just remember to take your time. A DIY like this requires patience.

This is how I did it, don't know if there is a real DIY thread on it:

Take off brake lines from caliper, plug the lines. I zip-tied plastic bags over the ends to stop the leaks. Remove caliper and pads from vehicle. Depress pistons in caliper to remove all fluid from housing. I used a aircraft stripper to get the paint off with sandpaper of course. You don't have to get every scrap of paint off for a good finish. Tape off the pistons, bleeder nipples and bolt holes used to attach caliper to spindle. Use hi-temp primer, paint, and clear. Remember to apply Brembo decals before the clear. Follow the paint instructions closely. It matters greatly to the longevity of the finish to do so.

Let dry, re-install and bleed brakes. BOOM. Your done.

I may have missed something but it isn't a difficult job at all. It will take the better part of your weekend though.

 

looks nice

 

 

That orange looks sweet I didn't think I'd like it

 

I like the orange too, is it powdercoated or spray canned?

 

tore them down completely and had them powdercoated...put new seals (huge pain in the a**) in and re-assembled...no problems as of yet...and thank you by the way

 

wow I love the orange!

 

Orange looks great on EB.

 

does anyone know how well the high temp primer, paint, clear method holds up? pics after some mileage? or should i just go for a powdercoat? mine need a paint job bad they are lookin pretty grizly

 

I would assume it holds up good but I wouldn't know since I powder coated mine.

 

Used high temp paint on mine, still look new like the day i painted them its been about 18 months now!

Plan on re-doing them in the new year as the purple is not a good match to the rest of the parts.
