Did your Brembo decals last? I would think they would melt from the heat.

From there it looks as good as a Powder Coated one would.

Can this paint be ordered in custom colors or with a specific paint code?

Infern0 · 02-29-2012, 10:55 AM

Did you have to take the calipers off?

Yeah but you end up paying $100 instead of $30.

Most of us didn't. The general reason was to just paint what you can see and with the wheels off, you get access to a lot of the side and back anyway.

I ordered the custom inferno orange paint, paid the $100 bucks and am very pleased with the results.

I did not take the calipers off. I just taped off the important parts (bleeder value, disc, pads, and so on. I put a little music on and went to town. Felt like I was in Pre-K again working on a paint project. I would recommend you wear a mask or clean and paint the calipers in a well ventilated area. The fumes are very strong. The kit comes with brake cleaner by the way.

Looks real good. Did you do a high temp clear on top after you added the "brembo" sticker. I painted mine a couple weeks ago but havent added the stickers yet.

Thanks!

No I did not add a clear top coat. From other post that I've read and speaking to a few other indiviuals the stickers will hold up as is. I think the Brembo stickers were like $5 bucks!

ORANGA2D · 02-29-2012, 06:11 PM
