So I was bored today, and finally decided to paint my calipers. I ran down to my local parts store and got some plasti-kote caliper paint. I had originally planned on doing something like black or silver, but at the last moment I settled on red. I think they came out pretty good. I only had time for the fronts, so Ill have to do the rears in a couple days.

Im just wondering what to do about the Brembo logo. Ive looked on ebay and found some replacement stickers, but not 100% sure which ones I need. Does anybody know what the dimensions are for the stock emblems?

I have some pictures of the calipers. Ill put them up later.

 

Just put a sticker on it and then repaint over the sticker. Pull it off and add some clear. Or buying Brembos works too lol

 

Except he already has them....

 

They are brembos. What Im wondering is what dimension sticker I need to replace where the original brembo logo was painted over.

 

i'd just measure it, and as long as it's pretty close (fits on the front face of the caliper) order em up.... i'll go measure mine right now and get you an appoximate size!!! BRB

 

well isnt he nice haha. i edited my post in the other thread btw too. i picked what i would go with now from what i found on there.

 

Just measured it... The "BREMBO" font is approx 2 3/4" long x 1/2" tall (the round brembo emblem is 1" diameter) hope this helps lol

 

yah, I saw that. Thanks for the input.

Thanks man! I appreciate you going to the trouble of doing that.

 

not a problem... glad i could help. should've measured before painting lol goodluck on finding some

haha yah I know, I meant to measure prior to starting but completely forgot.

How well do you guys think this paint will hold up during winter in New England? I probably put a total of about 4 coats on. Do you think it will deal with the salt and snow ok?

Also, I always wash my car by hand, but in the winter I go to a car wash. Do you guys think the pressure sprayers in the car wash will damage the paint?

 

the pressure washer wont hurt it, but never use the brushes they have at the do-it-yourself ones cause they will kill your paint.... please don't try it lol
