Question Change oem GT Brembo calipers to red?

Has anyone with a GT Brembo, changed your calipers to Red (including the back ones)? (please post photo). How did you did it? Cost? Did it last without damage?

Did you guys paint yourselves, or get them powercoated?

Trying to decide on a color for my PW car. I'm between red, white, or possibly orange or yellow.

I don't want black, as I want them to really pop.

Ordered a red G2 epoxy caliper paint kit for my car. Will be doing the brembos with white logos, and rear brakes in just red.

I think they're gonna look awesome and really pop on the white car.

You made the right decision. They will look great against the white car.

You'll be happy with the results. G2's epoxy is a very good product. I did my non-brembo in red a few weeks ago, and was amazed at how well they turned out.

Looks good. Did you remove to paint or just do them on the car?

After putting the car up on jacks stands, I removed the calipers from the rotors but not from the car completely. I didn't want to fiddle with bleeding the brakes when re-installing later.
I made some T's out of some old scrap wood I had, and rested the calipers on them. That way I could move the caliper around while painting it and have no pressure (weight) on the lines. And if my hand slipped & I got a little paint on an old piece if scrap wood instead of my rotor, all the better.
For the pieces that holds the pads, I hung them on a section of peg-board wall I have in my garage.
