Repainted Brembos

The red was cracking and fading and instead of red i opted out for a different color... What do you think?

Brembo stickers got from ebay, some vendor sold them for 5$ for 4 of them 2 of them standard size and 2 of them half the size. I just used a drill with a wire brush attached with some caliper cleaner and simple green and spend probably at least 30-45 minutes getting as much as the clear coat off as possible. Then used black caliper paint, about 3-4 coats for both sides(only used 1 can) then used about 3 coats of clear coat(half a can) both are high temp. Clear coat was 500 degrees and caliper paint was about 900 degrees. ill put some pics up of the wheels off tomorrow and thanks everyone!!

I recleared my Brembos several weeks ago and found that just using my air compressor with the sprayer end took the peeling clear coat right off. It was easy and quick. Then a light wet sand and some clear and they look like new basically.

Hope this helps someone.
