So got my front Brembo Calipers Rebuilt but most of the paint is off, I searched online and someone over at my350z.com used Humbrol Hobby #54 paint to paint their brembos but this was years ago, has anyone had experience doing that recently? Im gonna look retarded with my rear brembos in gold and my front brembos in polished/stripped off Gold-Paint.

Was wondering if anyone had experience using Humbrol Hobby #54 paint and if it stays even under intense heat (I don't track the car in anyway).

Also, how much should a shop ask to rebuilt your calipers? Just looking to compare prices. (and no I cant do them myself I just don't have the time to do them)

Thanks!

 

Get them powdercoated.

He is great at matching brembo gold

 

Buy the rebuild kit yourself or the shops will rape you to put them in..they're on ebay

 

considering this also, willing to do this if it looks better

he matches it pretty good!

 

Powdercoat is ALWAYS better than paint. He also has a great reputation here.

of course its better I know that, just didn't feel like taking them off to send them and wait for the powder guy to do his thing, but after seeing his work its worth the wait, i already contacted him for pricing. Good Looks!

 

You have to take them off to rebuild them anyways. He may be willing to rebuild them for you as well, because he removes the pistons and seals prior to powdercoating anyways.

 

They have been rebuilt already, just need the Powdercoating, so hopefully he doesnt take long to do them

 

First set I sent him had a 8 day door to door turn around. But he is a professional pilot so it varies alot on his work schedule.
