I sanded mine down to a brushed metal with 60-200 grit paper

 

I'd love to get mine powder coated.

 

I might have mine powder coated when I have mine off when I do the brake swap.

 

I know Powell used too rebuild and powder coat them. Anybody else do that now?

 

Painted my calipers this past weekend and my car is Imperial blue metallic and I got color matching paint and they came out looking black, when the sun his it just right you can see some blue but oh well black was number 2 choice anyway

 

I believe he still does.

 

That's true, but charges way more than he used to since he was losing money on most of them.

 

cleaned sanded and degreased, painted with high temp red paint then 2 coats of high temp clearcoat held up pretty long.

 

Arrrgh I need to do mine. How closely does the G2 gold paint match our Chevy emblems? I'm thinking of going gold with black letters.

 

idk never used g2 i used a rattle can, came out smoother, im going to use the g2 kit on my rears soon

 

fellow brembo painters. i need some assistance from ya'll!! its going to be nice this weekend,so im thinking about painting my brembo's. but i need a little help in deciding which color red is closest matching to the Sport Red Tintcoat. i know its not going to be a direct match but was just getting additional opinions. i was leaning twords #4

go to NAPA give them the paint code off your trunk label they can do an aerosol perfect match. it doesnt have to be vht heat paint if you dont track your car it will hang in good enough for a jiggle can job

 

Guess I'll have talk to him and see how much.

 

Well that's annoying, looked up the color on duplicolor's website and they only sell the Sport Red Tintcoat in the 1/2 oz scratch repair.

They all look close maybe the 1st one to me, possibly even this red.

You'll actually need good calipers, I have a brand new set I bought from Mongo just for this purpose.

 

from what ive read, people who even track their car use just regular old spray paint and its held up just fine. but i want to do it once and not have any problems. thanks for the info JP! cant wait to get your parts installed on my cobalt, spring will eventually get here
thanks for the help. ive researched this a couple times but could never find anything of the actual color in more than a touch up can. it is annoying.

 

painted my brembos and rear caliber a pearl white, will post pics when on the car

 

He won't do used ones?

 

came across this one at napa, it is high temp paint also. what do you guys think?

Hey guys, I finally bit the bullet (shipping to Canada nearly doubles the price) and ordered a gold G2 paint kit for my brembos. My question is if I'm ordering from house of grafx for my brembo decals, do I want matte black finish or gloss black finish? Thanks!

 

Go with gloss but watch out for shipping cost on those decals to get it shipped to Canada its nasty

 

Thread revival thats the purple i want for my calipers but what paint is it
