i know it's been done with the brush + paint.... so I used spray paint...

This is for my 350z, I took if off so I won't get over spray on my car and makes it easier

stripped it, had to do multiple coats,wash and spray the paint remover every 30 mins (3-4 times) steel brush helps for corners. doesn't have to be bare metal. you can see the yellow + black primary coat then gold finish



primered + filler for deep scratches and such, tape your bleeder nipple and tighten it, also behind the caliper where the hardlines connect. so no break fluid leak that can mess up your project. took the bleed nipple for taping



after primer/filler is dry, scuff it with 3M scuff pad (red) or 360-400 grid sand paper, then apply alchohol on the microfiber cloth then wipe it down for dust or oily areas, spray the red caliper paint. light coats then mild...this red caliper paint isn't quite the brembo red. so i sprayed over it with dupli color cardinal red cc it matches my friends brembo GT red paint.


spray the clear coat when the paint is dry. i spray about 4-5 coats. as you can see there are still orange peel... so tomorrow i'll wet sand it with 1000-1200 grid



I will post pictures of wet sanded + buffed + polished tomorrow....finish touch, my brembo decal just arrive today in white gloss, exact size

more orange peel....BAD!


here's a sample of wet sanded, buffed, polished, waxed, finished



now the finish project + brembo decals







THANKS FOR VIEWING !!! :rockout:

 

Those look good. What did you have to mask off to spray the calipers, I have a set of brembos i want to repaint but afraid of messing something up.

 

i masked the valve bleeder then screw it back tight so no leak, also the pistons + rubber seals. other than that its all good.

did you get the replacement decals off ebay or from brembo direct?

 

looks nice, where did you get the stickers from ?

 

directly from brembo dealer socal, took a while to order.

 

 

I'm curious as to how well that is going to hold up. Even though you used caliper paint, it looks like you used regular primer as a base coat. The primer probably won't stand up to the heat which may cause your caliper paint to flake/fail prematurely.

Looks nice though.

 

tested tough, i did my evo 9 last year and i'm staring at it right now, it looks the same as the first day.
