Mine didn't last very long after I fixed them, they all chipped again. I used the same thing VTH high-temp clear.

They turned out nice though, enjoy it while it last.

Looks nice! I'm surprised how easy it is to simply re-clear the Brembos.

Mine looked like that too, but the dealer was nice to warranty them

Was this simply a re-clearing spray job? Did you do any sanding? I am planning on completely repainting them, along with new stickers and all.

I think i'm just gonna powder coat mine. It may be pricey, but i dont want to have to do the same job twice like i might if i just re-clear them. I'll look into it and get some prices then decide.

I didn't know that these types of fixes didn't last very long. That's discouraging haha

Powdercoating you would need to take out the dust boots and **** like that right?

Looks good however!

a lot of people are sayin you just cleared them. Elaborate, you paint them, sticker them then clear or just chucked on a layer or 2 of clear and got that...if so, VHT is getting some business from me soon! my brembos are same as yours. (before )
