Don't suppose you've got any of the whole car with them on Phill?

Your wish is my command !

Orangey/Red Full Car Shot

Yellow Full Car Shot

Phil

I'm refurbing my old brembos red and gonna sell them soon.

My new brakes are.................. PURPLE , but they are no longer Brembos Watch this space for a write up

Chris

purple?

D2?

Possibly

Cheers Phill, I think I'm leaning more towards red than yellow TBH.

come on then....what have you been up to?

Im keen on those yellows like highwaymans because I have a sprinty too. One quick Q thou do you paint yours in situ or did you remove the calipers ?

For how easy it is to remove the calipers the painting will be made even easier.
I will be removing mine.

I actually painted the yellow ones in-situ, but they looked cack close up . The orangey ones were part of a complete refurbishment, and looked when I'd finished them. Best to remove them IMHO .

Phil

Definitely go for red Wilky.

I took mine off when I did them a couple of years ago and it makes it so much easier. They're not difficult to get off but you'll need something to blank off the brake pipes so you don't lose all your fluid and you may find that the hard pipes to the calipers are ready for replacement when you try to remove them.

Here's a couple of other pictures from when I did mine.

Sorry to (slightly) hijack but where do I get the stickers from?

Cheers, Hedge

Cheers for the pics pag, what did you use to spray them with because it looks like youve got wuite a good finish on them.

And Hedge there is a lad on here does them, I was going to do a search and see if I could find out who it was before posting another thread about it lol.

Try Busa1300. He had some available a while ago.

I'll drop him a PM, cheers Matt.

What would you guys recommend to use to paint if leaving the calipers in-situ to paint them (I've used halfords high temp paint before and it bubbled when it got hot on my 1.2 bravo!)

Dan

I just used Red Hammerite

Clicky

And still looks good a year on

Halfords high temp paint works well and not had any problems before. Yours probably bubbled due to not having enough prepping on the surface.

maybe. I thought I'd need metal primer on there or something?

Dan

Tartan dude did you do yours with a brush or out of a tin with the hammerite?

I did it with a small brush and a tin of hammerite

Might give it a go with the brush then, I'd thought about that at the start TBH.

I used this paint from US Automotive.

It's not the cheapest but did give an excellent finish that still looks good 2 years on. I stripped back all of the old paint and used this straight onto the metal. Then I used some of the clear high temp paint from the same people to lacquer the calipers after I'd fitted the Brembo decals.

Yep, I used the same stuff as pag .

Phil

Me too. I've also done sets in just normal paint with halfords petrol resistant lacquer over the top and they've been fine, but the VHT stuff is a pretty nice colour of red. I found it a bit of a pain to apply though, but then I'm crap at that sort of thing.

I think I'll do my next set in yellow.

Pag is there any where local that you know of to get some of that paint?

how about gloss lack calipers with white decals??? that would look smart if not then got to be red with black decals IMHO

Sorry to butt in on this one. I bought a completly reconditioned set of red Brembo's, they put the white brembo stickers on and I need to laquer them to ensure they don't come off. Im after clear MATT high temp laquer though and I can't seem to find any.

Has anybody done this before?
