Thats who sold most of the Brembo stickers you saw on eBay. I was very happy with them.

For those who are repainting to 'fix' the Brownbos, do they just get brown again after painting, or is the paint you use stay red after some more track use?
Or those that are using other colors... any problems/ discolorations? I've never seen STi brakes do anything funny.

You will de dealing with the same issue again and again. Remember Derek? He had Alcon brakes (silver original, turned gold on him) 6 piston brakes man. Same thing with my brembos, first brown, then blue, then dark purple. I painted them Dark brown (5 coats of 1200* paint and 5 coats of 500* clear coat) Guess what, they are black now, I knew it and that's just how I wanted them. Ohh and don't bother with brembo "high temp" stickers, turned to dust after 2 sessions

Just wondering how long it's been since you've done the calipers and how they are holding up since then? My red ones look like S*** now and I want to redo them

make sure you guys preferably get the 1000 degree paint( I found that it only comes in silver). I found that the 500 degree paint peels right off after a while. I dont think the clear coat matters, though i know they sell a 500 F rated clear coat.

Hey people's...i just painted my calipers silver with black Brembo on there...it's really easy...but takes 6hrs or so going at a slow to moderate pace...Wow! waht a difference in how those brakes look...now I don't do much track time, so im not shur how the paint will hold up to brakes getting really hot...but i used 1500* paint and 500* clear...got everything at local Kragen...I had the stickers made.
