Painting Brembos?

A guy I work with saw that I had painted my calipers this past weekend and now wants me to paint his GT500 calipers red....The problem is the calipers are brembo and I have never heard of anyone painting those.....should I take him up on his offer or should I tell him to try to trade the black calipers for the red?

A member on here painted her's red. You then have to use sticker off ebay for the word brembo or get stencils to paint it. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...t=gt500+brembo

G2 just released a Torch Red Brake Caliper Paint which matches the factory Ford Torch Red (color code D3). They have a great write up about it including pictures where someone used it to paint some Brembos on a GT500 here:

You might want to check that out.

The brakes came out great...still not sure why the guy wanted red brakes on a blue car...
I will post pics after I apply the Brembo decals and the owners Alcoa rims come in.
