Default DIY Repainted calipers from blue to burnt copper on my USB IS-F
After 4 winter's and summer I've decided to change color on my calipers from blue to burnt copper on my USB IS-F, pretty happy with results. Total cost for VHT paint,primer,clear,stripper, painter tape,acetone, decals and sand paper $75

I agree with everyone else, the color combination goes well together - nice job!


Is the Brembo lettering a sticker or did you paint/stencil that on?
