Well, my brakes were looking rather tired and faded, and my wheels were all nicked up. So, I decided to get off my butt and do something about it. I went for a rather different color scheme. I know some won't like it because: A) it's spray paint
B) not an OEM brembo color

I spent half the day sanding and prepping. It was a lot of work, but considering the price and self-satisfaction, it was totally worth it. Overall, I'm happy with the results. I used Rustoleum graphite wheel paint and VHT blue/clear coat caliper paint. I had an extra VHT clear can so I cleared the wheels as well. I used 400 grit sand paper on the calipers and a red scotchbrite pad on the wheels. I will get some better pics with my digital camera later. For now, I'll have to post the pics from my iPhone. On to the pics...

 

 

Awesome job, looks even better than before. I'm diggin' the blue.

 

Looks great man! Thanks for documenting it with pictures along the way.

 

Looks real good. The brembo logos new stickers?

 

Thanks for the comments guys! The hardest part really is the prep work. If your calipers are faded, it's the best alternative. Especially since the paint is 900 degree resistant.

 

I ordered them from a vendor on ebay.

 

Looks good.... I could not find the Rust-oleum wheel paint anywhere near me, so I decided to go with the duplicolor, wish I didnt... didnt come out to bad, but not as good as what I have seen with the rust-oleum....

 

i was just getting ready to paint mine blue as well, i really gotta jump on this looks really good

 

I like how the brembos came out I want to do this but to scared to do it on my own. on this kind of stuff I rather see someone do it then I can attempt to do it lol

 

Nice color on the Brembos, I wanted to do the same on my STI.

But i wouldn't do it on my own, i would send them to get powder coated, a bit scared lol.

 

Great job!
if you guys are scared of overspray, then tape off other areas really well. You could also use wet wax(or detailer spray) and give the other area a good soaking before painting.

 

Looks Good. Better then driving around with fading Brembos.

 

Good job came out really good.

 

Are those stickers that say "Brembo" or are they stencil?
