Has anyone had this problem? My left caliper Brembo logo is fading but is just fine on the right side. I want to powder coat them but am reading a lot of people saying its not a good idea on used calipers.

 

I suggest paint with G2 then new stickers, 50$ she looks ****

 

That's looks good. I just got my wheels back from powder coat and want to make the calipers pop a little more before I put the wheels back on.

 

yeah I understand, this g2 paints not suppose to peel either

 

I'm thinking of getting my calipers powered red and the front Brembo logos black. My car is all black except for rims and calipers so this could make it sexier.

 

it's called wear and tear. Pretty normal.

 

I just g2'd mine as well haha

 

Just wondering why the left would do it and the right would not. They are the same age.

 

I know some say it might look ghey but I am thinking of yellow powder coat with the SRTC would like pretty nice, different. I saw this and thought it would look good.

 

Is that side of the car parked where it is more exposed to the sun? Does the rotor and/or pad on the side show any signs of overheating from sticking or dragging over time? Have you used any harsh chemical wheel cleaner on the wheels?

It might just be normal wear and tear over time but difficult to tell why is your other one is perfect. If you decide to remove them and have them professionally powder coated you might see if the factory finish is going to be a problem (it looks to be an anodizing process). And if you do decide to paint them yourself with a brush-on kit make sure to stress the prep work and start with the cleanest caliper possible as that will help the coating adhere best and last the longest.

 

I always park in the garage at home and am surrounded by trees at home mainly. But I do park it on the street in front of my shop but the sun does not come up on that side. As for them sticking haven't noticed anything, I spin it and its free just like the other. Non dragging noticed. I just normally wash with car soap and water and scrub the wheels versus using any chemicals.

I know the calipers are able to be powder coated. I do a lot of work for a powder coater in town and maintain their fleet so he gives me a pretty good deal on powder. They claim to have done calipers before but I've been reading a lot about not doing used calipers.

 

I'd spend the money on a new replacement set then....

send right if to be coated etc etc... I've actually been thinking about doing this already

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note booyahh

 

I am definitely getting new ones. I m in the process of doing the conversion for my Ion and will use these and get new ones coated. Have too many projects going in lol. All as soon as I'm done moving into our bigger house soon.
