Hi guys, well after 294K these stock brembo calipers are pink, all the clear is ruined. i would like to know who you guys recommend to get them re done.

I have seen i think TCC but i don't know if they are still in business.

Thanks for any help.

dont want to try it yourself?

Just clear and paint sure, i used to paint at the body shop. But stencil too??

For me easier to send them out to people who would do a better job.

Stencil? Just get the brembo sticker, no need to stencil

If you are not rebuilding the caliper, I would;
Disconnect caliper, mask tape over seals, and sandblast to bare aluminum.
Clean with prep all
spray high temp primer
Spray high temp color
Install high temp brembo decal
Spray high temp clear
Take tape off
Bake in oven to cure. (Highly recomend)
Reinstall, bleed.
I used vht brake paint, I think over all only costed $60 for everything.

I painted mine some time back they came out great.

Grinded/Sanded old off, Cleaned well

Used a Hi Temp Primer, Gloss Black, and Clear.

No decals for me

If you are looking to go the powder coat route. These guys are in NNJ http://trgcoating.com/

Thanks

I've used trgin the past, they did a real nice job on the valve cover for my old car.

I would also recommend liquid powder coats in pa. Martin is a dsmer who does some really good work, he did the wheels for me on my DSM back when he first got started

Once you bake it in the oven, won't that ruin the seals and you'll nee to buy the rebuild kits? Price those out sometime - prepare to be heartbroken when it's over $600 for all 4 caliper rebuild kits.

I would imagine you don't bake it with the seals on.

Yeah, but on the other hand you know someone has done/will do it, lol. Also - could damage stuff on removal.

I'm just saying - if one isn't careful with that type of thing it can result in big money

Good point

^^^^I hope the caliper seals can handle 200 deg. You can install them without baking, and the heat from driving/braking with cure the paint also. But if you get brake fluid on uncured caliper paint it runs.

If it's just 200 they should be fine. Again - I'm just saying that maybe some specification would be required as far as temps, length of time in oven, etc...

We live in a world where people need to be told to take the wrapping OFF the pop tart before sticking it in the microwave or toaster.
