I think you can use a stencil to repaint to Brembo logo onto the caliper.

See http://eagleday.stores.yahoo.net/brcapaki.html

^ Or you can just go to a sticker shop and get some cut.

Most likely, I would think VHT would give you a reverse-cut sticker because they call it a "stencil" Meaning you would get the outline of "Brembo" so you can paint that over your caliper.

Generally when painting, you want to paint light colors first, and daker colors over it, not the other way around. This will bring out the colors better. So you would want to get a standard regular cut Brembo sticker. Then say if you wanted it to say Brembo in white, with a black caliper. You would paint the caliper white first, allow the paint to cure, apply the sticker where you want the logo to be, and then paint it black.

Especially for white coloring, if you paint white over black, it will not be as bright, and white is a good base coat to be sure your color is true. This may not be the case as much with black, but red for example if you just painted that over the gold, it might not exactly come out the shade of red you wanted, where if you painted it over white, it would make it brighter(if you want that).

Yeah, the gold makes people notice your Brembos. I love it although I am considering painting them red with white letters.

jdbinspired brembo's were my inspiration.

I retrofitted brembos onto my 05 G and had them powdercoated a 2 stage candy blue so in certain light it kinda has a purplish tinge to it. The brembo lettering is just plain ol' white sticker vinyl. I got 3 full sets from my sticker guy for under 10$ so I can replace if they start to get dirty or peel, but they've held up great.

Here's a pic I took of my friend Tony's old G...he had his powdercoated black and put red lettering on. It's just gonna depend if you want people to see it stand out..or be stealthy.

The front calipers I bought on ebay were already powdercoated red. But one of them wasn't in perfect shape, so I had to use G2 paint and brembo stencils to redo it.



Then since the fronts were red, I painted the rears red to match. It's held up very well. The G2 paint isn't going to be as nice as a good powdercoat, but it'll hold up better than regular spray type paints.

don't mean to revive an old thread, I just stumbled here while doing research because I want to repaint my own BBK (I have wilwoods on my RSX and they are faded)

My car



My BBK




AND for you guys wanting to repaint your Brembos, here's a site that sells high-temp Brembo vinyls so you don't have to mask off. They also have the infiniti logo
