The Brembo's on mine are silver, I wouldn't reccomend that though because you really cant see them lol I think that was the point, was for them to not be obvious. And with your color wheels, I would just stick with red, or maybe the Mopar Orange that the challengers are. I think that would look cool with the color of your car.

 

srtjohn did his in green to match the striping color of his car.

 

The orange might look really cool.

 

on a blue car I would go silver, black or color matched... orange might be cool but think it would stand out and look out of place

 

Go silver!

 

Does anyone have a picture of a dark colored car with silver brakes?

 

MagFX did a great metallic blue to his Brembos. Hopefully he'll post pics. He has pics somewhere on here.

 

Thanks Fred. Here they are. Powder coated metallic silver with a candy blue over that.

 

I had my calipers and rotors powdercoated in Detonator Yellow, to match my Bee.

 

did you have to take the caliper and rotors off your self before your paint shop would paint them? I cant find a shop to do all that for me and paint them... :banghead:

 

Freebird, how does the yellow in the slots on the rotors hold up? How often do you drive your car?

 

I do not drive the Bee very often, mostly on weekends.

The powder in the slots holds up ok, if you take a q-tip to them each time you drive the car. After time I don't clean the slots anymore. No biggie though, as I knew I would not keep up with the cleaning of them and my powder coater did not charge me extra to do the slots.

 

Yeah thats what I was wondering, about the slots. Maybe someone will post a picture- silver, blue?

 

Mine is peeling and chipping off also... my guess is someone prior to me owning it used some wheel cleaner or degreaser that started eating the coating off...

Ill probably be doing mine as well as some other suspension parts in Hemi orange, or the vette ZO6 orange... the red and inferno is just TOO close in color...

they sell rebuild kits and seals so you can tear them apart and do it right if you want...

 

yea, the clear is coming off mines too! I hate it they almost look pink now..

 

im saving for mine to get color matched B5

 

wow that blue is beautiful!

 

I know a guy who had factory gold brembos on a blue subaru STI it looks alright...for an import

 

have an appointment for the powdercoat. $150 for all 4 to be color matched

 

it may be cheaper because they want me to leave the brakes on the car as opposed to removing and bringing them in seperately. i thought powdercoat has a baking process? doesnt quite make sense to me

It is. Maybe they're going to take them off for you?

Huuuum...... Lets see.....

Take them off......disassemble.....drain fluid.....remove seals and block off seal area,

along with bleed fittings, powdercoat ...re assemble....fill and bleed system......

$150 for all 4.......

WOW thats a deal.....

that does not sound right. i think you better ask some questions.

 

wow thats a great price RB24, to bad i dont live in Ohio.

he said they have done many brake calipers and they prefer to leave them on the car as the ABS system and bleeding brakes can be a pain (this is verbatim from the shop owner) i said i thought it would be easier if i remove from the rotor and bring all 4 to you. how can he do the baking process for the powdercoat when they are physically still on the car? put my whole car in the oven? LOL

They sell propane/natural gas heat lights for powdercoat finishing. They can aim them where needed to bake the powder that has been applied on assembled components. I would guess this is what they have planned.

 

good to know! he will do the taping and prep work. $150 is not a bad price IMO if it is done properly

 

those blue calipers are gorgeous! i want to do a bright copper color on mine!

kind of like this

 

HAHA this is what ill be doing to mine... alone with some suspension pieces...

 

there is a powder coat shop near me that said that have a hand powdercoater. That way they can aim it at what needs to be powdercoated and just coat those sections.

 

I'm diggin' the Mopar blue above. Nice!

I've always thought the copper/orange Brembos on the Infiniti/Nissans were cool...

 

Anyone have a pic with blue calipers on a sliver car? (300)

 

My 2 cents are to go Candy Apple Red and get the Brembo logos done in gold leaf
