Just an update on the paint everyone. Still looks like the day I finished. I have noticed some little white marks on the calipers from time to time. When I look at them close I realize it's just the left over debris of rocks that have flown up and hit the rotors. The debris wipes right off with my finger tip. This VHT Ceramic paint really does hold it's own up against the elements. Even with just the 3 coats of it I used.

i think it looks good, those pictures make the calipers look hidden but in the light i'm sure people can see the black contrast with the silver rotor pretty e-z. i think it looks cool,

They are name designed to be able to come apart and be put back together.

The flat black looks good if you wanna be sleeperish.

Can anyone confirm if the rebuild kit above is all we would need to dissamble our calipers to have them powder coated, and then re assembled again? Thanks.

Personally I think the blacked out brembos is a good idea, hides brake dust, is something different, etc etc. Plus he used the proper materials on it too, as well as the proper coats, so it should last a very long time.

Those are PISTON seal kits...the pistons fit in to the caliper body. DO NOT separate the two halves of the caliper body as it will be FUBAR'd. If for some reason you have a leak between the caliper halves, you need to contact Brembo to make arrangements for rebuilding. Why? See post #11
