im thinking about re-painting my brembo brake calipers in red, right now mine are faded and the colour is chipped off some places,i would like to know what kind of paint should i use...

where i live we dont get brake caliper aerosol paint cans nor anything else related to brake caliper paint,,,now i talked to a painter he told me we can use normal car paint with a little hardner and it'll be as good as new... and wont crack or chip the paint under extreme braking tempreture...

is it a good bet to use car paint or not?

thanks.

I used VHT caliper primer/paint/clear on mine, and they still look good after 2 years. The paint hasn't faded at all and has held up to Chicago weather.

the thing is we dont have the VHT caliper paint in my country or any other brake caliper paint..if i use normal car paint will it work or fade or crack after a little use?

I don't see a problem with using paint used to paint cars with, but I'm not a paint expert. Have you considered having them powder coated or is that not available as well?

You want a heat resistant paint. VHT caliper paint is rated for 800 or 900 degrees. Engine paint will work.

Just a quick question. After re- painting the caliper the brembo logo gets put on first before the clear coat or after the clear coat? Please advice Thanks.
