Painted my Brembo's
 
I decided that it was time to repaint my brembo's, here's what they looked like.

I used a drill with a wire brush to remove all of the paint. I took about 80% of the caliper to bare metal and roughed up the rest. I sprayed with VHT high temp primer (1300-2000 degree), VHT caliper paint (900 degree), applied new brembo decals and then applied VHT high temp clear coat (1300-2000 degree).

Here is the final result.

Next i think i'm going to paint my valve cover to match the brembo's.

where did you get the brembo decals

That looks great minus the green imo white or black would have been better. Good to know though I want to paint my blue also to match my car. Overall looks clean

Looks great, also interested in where you got the decals

I got the brembo decals off of ebay. One thing to keep in mind, you need to make sure they send you two sizes. The decals on the back calipers are smaller. The place i got mine from sent me all the same size. I had to leave the brembo symbol off the back brakes in order to make the decal fit.

I bought lime green and white decals. I wasn't sure which ones i would like better. My family voted for the lime green since we're big Seahawks fans, my kids think the green is cool.

You did a great job!! looks better than they were new, IMO. Even looks like it came that way.
