The rotor look funny cause they use to be color matched to the red that the calipers were before. I had them painted to match but had to paint them too so they can match the purple. It is a little over spray cause I had no tape so I just used a piece of paper, then went out and got painters tape.

WITH TAPE:

to everyone that painted their calipers, they all look great. I just had a couple questions before I get underway.

1.I am debating between using the high heat paint with ceramic (resist 1200*f) or the engine enamal (resist 500*f). I am not sure how hot brakes actually become. Engine enamel would be perfect for motors obviously since they dont or should not operate anywhere near 500*.

2. did anyone bake the calipers after painting them? I have seen exhaust parts sprayed with the high heat and then baked for a few hours afterward.

thanks guys

Another option if you don't want to use stickers for the brembo logo is to do a two color paint. For instance, if you want the brembo logo to be silver on red calipers, paint the entire caliper silver, then use a normal sticker for the brembo logo. The sticker is just a mask, then respray the caliper red, or color of your choice, and remove the sticker to reveal the silver logo. Follow up with some hi-temp clearcoat and call it good. That way there's no worry about the sticker peeling.

Just a thought.
