Painting Brembos ?

Is it possible to paint the brembos to look like this and not be cheesy or anything.

Sure, it's brembo red. From my SRT days i believe it's a color code. Brembo decal and some clear, or powder coat...

I had mine powder coated. I found a color which is very close to grabber blue. I recommed this color process rather than painting. Powder coating is more durable than paint as I have compared to my cobra's Brembo calipers which were painted with a high temp paint.

It takes a few days total depending on the workload of the powder coater. Caliper seals need to be removed and in some cases replaced. You cannot play around with the brakes. Any seals damaged during removal should be replaced.

I guess in the USA such a job would cost around $100 plus caliper seals if required. I paid just a bit more due to the exchange rate (EURO 80).

So I gotta remove the seals. How hard is that. Also if I track the car will the heat fade the red down the road?
