Thanks Guys, Yeah I will get the picture with the wheels on.

 

No I just covered the rotor with a grocery bag. The decals were bought from ebay.

 

Thanks Robbbb

 

Looks great. This is the first thing I would do to an IS-F if I ever bought one. I wanted to pass along a bit of advice that the engineers at Brembo gave me. They advised me to NEVER powdercoat a Brembo caliper - they paint them from the factory, and re-coloring should be done via paint. Brembo calipers are not designed to be rebuilt, and the extreme heat that the powder coating process requires could damage the components of the caliper, negatively affecting both its functionality and durability. Just an FYI for you guys considering this...

Thanks Javier, I used engine enamel spray paint recommended by a custom shop who did paint job on a lot of brembos for evo's, nissans etc.

 

The G2 paint system works great. Put I'd use a smoother brush. Their brush sucks. It hardens and takes a beating from heat.

 

Really looks great, I assume you painted the rears also. I too would like to see pics with the wheels on.

 

Thank you bro, the second picture is the rear. I will post the pics with the wheel tonight.

 

Any special reason you painted the pins and the bridge bolts? Are the anti-rattle springs painted too?

I've noticed it's very easy to chip the OEM paint when putting the pins back in the calipers (I've changed pads back and forth for track days quite a few times now) as there's no easy way to tap the pins back in without hitting the paint on the back side.

 

No, It was just easy to paint and less work.

 

looks great! and looking forward to see the wheels on there too.

 

what this guy said.

 

You missed the Brake Pad backing plates, Sensors & Shims too...

Looks good. I did the same color combo, except I used caliper paint and large brembo stickers in the back. It's holding up great, but just be careful whenever you take off your wheels because it can chip the paint. I had to retouched one of mine.

ha ha yea, I left unpainted parts as-is. Although it was a pain to mask, I thought it would look a bit silly to paint anything that wasn't already painted to begin with.
