I'm having one issue with mine...... I cant find a red that's close to the original red on the brembos..... all the High temps are way brighter then whats on them now..just not sure if another paint will hold up or not........ idk what other color that they make in the high temp would look good on a bby car with black and blue lip wheels.......

You use Caliper Paint. It comes in a spray can.

Is VHT Red caliper paint quite close to the original color anyone?

I've got all my calipers off and have been all degreased ready for brake cleaner and wipe tomorrow. Just a tad concerned about the decals but I think I will just sand over that and the rest of the caliper and spray paint the whole thing. I've bought those high temp stickers from ebay so hopefully they will hold up (cheers kellylyluv!).

Everyone I've seen just use the "B" logo on the center of the caliper (same size as the front decal) instead of the word "Brembo" since the text size needs to be so much smaller.

If you get the stenciles done post pics so we can see em! I've got decals and stencils laying around so it would be good to see a comparison before I redo mine!

only thing i noticed about the stenciles is that the "Brake Caliper Paint" is kinda rubbery when it is drying. so they didnt peel off real cleanly on the little detail stuff. i think it can be avoided by peeling off the stencil befor the paint gets to start drying..
well see what happens
