It was two weeks in the making... but it's done, and I love the results!
I used red Duplicolor caliper paint, Duplicolor Engine Enamel (Clearcoat), and ordered the white Brembo decals from eBay.
Let me know what you guys think.








Thanks!

I apologize for massive pictures... didn't realize that.

 

Looks good! I hope you have better luck with that Duplicolor kit then I did, stuff flaked off after a few months.

 

Well that's why I threw on the clear enamel too to strengthen the finish, it seems like it should hold up.

 

Looks good. I hope it holds up for you.

 

that looks hot

take some wide shots so we can see more

 

Did you take your calipers apart for the repaint?

 

Yeah I completely removed the fronts from the car, then I also removed the pins, pads, etc. from the Brembos when painting. The pistons were even out because I originally intended on powdercoating (but that's another story). The backs were painted right on the car - I removed the bolts holding them in position, and hung them over the rotor to paint.
I put about 5-6 coats of the clear engine enamel, and then baked at 200 degrees for 1hr 30mins.
Brembo decals were put on right before the wheels went back on; I'll be clearcoating them on eventually.

Here's the wide shot.

 

looks very nice

 

thats sexy

 

excellent work man!

 

i like it

 

u were the guy a lil bit ago that couldnt get his brakes back on right? lol nice to see it worked out

 

That looks freggin' sweet man, update us on how the paint holds up after a month or so...I'd love to do that but gloss black to mine.

 

Quality work! Nice job man

 

looks awesome, good job! Did you just bake them in a regular oven? Did it stank up the oven like paint, or what?

 

Not really. Just to be safe, I let them sit and harden for about an hour before putting them into the oven so it wasn't wet paint going in. It didn't smell too bad, and I definitely think its worth doing.

 

Right on, I'll keep that in mind if I end up painting mine.

 

Why did you choose not to powder coat them? Looks awesome!

 

Because the place I was going to go to wanted me to remove the seals around the pistons. I didn't know any easy way of doing this, and I didn't want to ruin them or have to replace them. So at the last minute on the morning I was going to bring them in, I decided to paint instead to keep the costs down.

 

What size sticker did you use? Thanks!

 

wow those guys look really really good.
clean job

 

They were 3.25" x 0.8". Here's a link to them on eBay for anyone who decides to paint them; the seller was very fast too.
