Check on ebay for a sticker the same size as the logo on the caliper - Paint caliper the color you want the logo and 'brembo' to be - Put sticker in place - Then paint the caliper again the color you want it to be - Remove sticker.

OR

Paint caliper - Throw on sticker purchased from ebay (not sure how long the sticker would last though).

^^^^ 4 sure, But then use brakes hard and watch ebay sticker wrinkle and fall off. The Brembo on the OEM caliper is screened on. not a decal.
The genuine Brembo decals we put on our exchange Brembo powdercoat program dont wrinkle and fall off from heat.

but not cheap.

What paint did you use to get it to look that good? And could this be done by having it powdercoated?
