Caliper Restoration & Brake Job
Another thread on restoring Brembo's to their natural bright red state.

Before you yell, YES we did take the paint off the bleeder valve caps.

Also, this isn't my car, this is my bro's sick 03 Evo VIII.

How did you do the brembo? Was it a stencil and just painted over the red? Or a sticker? I wonder if a sticker would fly off after one hard brake after they got hot.?
Looks good by the way. I want to do mine black with a silver brembo

It's a sticker, we did at least 5 clear coats over it so it should hold on pretty well.


Here's some other pictures from today

Looks great however, I wonder how long 5 coats is gonna last. Post pics of the calipers after a month. I'd like to see how the paint holds up. Keep it up.

looks nice. I would of gone with a different color just to be different since you were redoing them anyway.
