Just repainted the brembos
I just finished repainting my brembos, was a pain but well worth it. Used dupont caliper paint and engine clear. Got the logos from EBAY. Also installed Racing Brake ET-500s and Racing Brake SS brake lines.
The begining
The worst one, I think the previous owner bent a wheel into the caliper...
The stock size 3.25" logo on right and a 4.25" on the left.
Before the clearcoat, brembo logo 1.25"
All finished, only took like a week and lots of sanding. My advice is to use a dremel, cut the time down to almost nothing. Came out pretty good, pics make them seem a little orange but they are just a little brighter than the stock color. I will try to get a pic off them side by side with my buddys stock ones for comparison. Tried to post just the picks but it was not working, sorry.

Um no, I have seen a couple people do it with them still on the car. I didnt want to deal with overspray, plus I put on the stainless lines so I was laready going to have to rebleed. I just made it a project and did everything at once.

nice they look like a deeper red in the last pic. I just hope it holds up. I'm assuming that's a rattle can clear. Those are crap because they have no catalyst and don't harden fully like real clear I shoot.
