this seems like something thats been posted here before but i did search and only found one poast from 06 that didnt have the info i want.

all of my brakes are pealing and are now a rust/ox pink color. i got a wet rag and kinda buffed at one and the wet part was still not red so i dont think a simple re-clear will do the trick.
im looking for someone thats repainted theres and wondering if what they used has held up well. Ive seen high temp brembo stickers on ebay and i was wondering if anyone have used them and how they held up. if the stickers are crap, anyone know of theres a stencel that i can get for cheep? used or something? also im about to change the break pads and i want to paint the calipers at the same time so i want to repaint them without takeing them totaly off so i dont have to bleed the breaks. has anyone done this? any tips? ive never done anything like this before

 

It's BRAKES. Try searching that, you might find a whole load of topics.

 

ya a whole load of nothing. i went through like 20 pages of threds, nothing, and serched google with no luck maybey im missing something if you find something let me know

you need to use a 400grit sand paper. a wet rag wont cut it.

 

sorry for the double post.

here is a complete how to to paint the brakes.

its found in the how to area.

 

i need to do this to my brakes!! so you just lightly sand the calipers with 400grit and then paint over everything with the clear coat?

 

yes. i used the dupli color part # DE 1636

just follow the steps in the link i attached on top

 

thanks, cant beleve i missed this one, those look like mine im gonna try this before, i might not need to go all out and repaint them.

so anyone use something thats held up for a few years? or use the brembo stickers? or got a stencel they want to sell me? if i end up painting

 

josel atr- did your brembo logos suffer with the sanding, did you sand around them or something or are they tuff? also hows the duplicolor holding up on yours?

 

if you want to repaint you will have to remove stickers, order new ones. you will be putting a few coats of new paint, then brembo stickers then clearcoat, or you can get 1 coat of clear, put on stickers and add a second coat of clear

 

so you dont need to paint them though? you just need to lightly wetsand the brake calipers, wash them off and apple a clear coat over everything?

 

thats what it looks like. sounds real good, im gonna go get some duplicolor right now and might end up doing it today ile let you know if thats all you need for shure because im kinda sceptical on it too because my calipers look like nothing will bring them back from the dead

 

yes, i sanded around the logo really carefully.

how is it holding? that im not sure yet because i havent driven my evo after i did the DIY. its such a garage queen right now.

but you know what? its worth a try. if it doesnt satisfy you, go ahead and paint the brembos'.

edit: here are some before and after pics for your enjoyment. hahah

 

Also did this over the weekend. Need to sand around the brembo logo because it will will fade if you don't. Peeling or chipping away some of the clear will save you some time in sanding.

 

It's america; we demand you speak our language, though we may not do so, or may not even know it at all. Thank god for the internet; the maker of this thread just got something no school has yet to give him: the correct way to spell and use the word BRAKE.

Now back to the thread topic: mine were peeling, and I have a IX, I had them replaced under warranty. I have heard that pretty much any EVO that has an existing warranty can get their peeling BRAKES replaced for free. If you're out of your warranty, search. I have spotted numerous thread of people's DIY brake caliper paint jobs.
