That's great, thank you for your service! I'm a 407 driver for Med-Trans in SC. Hopefully we will get to meet up at the next East Coast meet! 👍

 

My calipers just got back from paint...



Can't wait to see what they look like on the car!

 

Calipers look great! They look a little large for those wheels though...

 

Going on the car now:




Once they're bled and the wheels are on, I'll post some more pics.

 

nice color..blue pops a lot

 

Color match looks good

 

Did mine in BMW Fiji Green since I had this color on my Brembo GT kit on my E60 M5.

Probably going to respray since it didn't come out as perfectly smooth as I would have liked but, it works for now.

 

 

I like it......

 

You should use VHT clear coat after, probably keep the decals from pealing and you get that extra shine. ( Can be done without removing the callipers )

 

Thanks guys!

In the years I've had my Brembos and custom paint / decals I've never had a problem with the decals peeling up. We'll see what happens after my first track day though. Typically the vinyl will just get really soft and actually makes it bond to the paint more.

 

Pretty happy with this combo.

 

Blaque diamond BD-11


Pre black lugs and Lexus center cap decal

 

I had painted them blue originally when I first got the car back in 2011 got bored with the color so decided to change it back in 2014 I used VHT high heat primer VHT high heat paint VHT high heat clear I use a high heat vinyl decal paint stripper degreaser my Dremel, sandpaper right in my garage it was all about the prep that's what took 80% of time. That last pic is when I had my friend shop change rotors for me back in May of 2017. They've held up great and this is a DD that's been exposed to rain snow salt 3 track days and spirited driving etc.

 

very interesting and good ideas in here, I was thinking of paint matching my calipers with the color of the car
