Ivan323 Neutral Newbie May 13, 2007 Share May 13, 2007 Hi guys, i need advise on spray paint on my brake caliper. I just brought a brake setup from 1 of the bro here but i want to remove existing paint on it abd to make it looks stock. How do i remove the paint and by spraying the colour i want? I tried sanding it off but very difficult. Or can i actually add a layer of paint tat i wan w/o sanding it off? Where can i buy those spray paint? I remember i saw someone posting regardin spraying of caliper need to buy those high temp paint. If not, it won't last. Or do u guys have any workshop to recommend for spraying of caliper at a good prices? I need to do it asap since the brake still not yet install on my ride, at least i can save for labour in future if i wan to re-spray.. Anyone? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siong75 Clutched July 6, 2007 Share July 6, 2007 Hi bros, I also wanted to get my brake caliper's colour changed. Thinking of getting Brembo brake cover but it is only come with red colour. Not going to spray on caliper if not future when changing the brake pads, there will be lobang there. Any bro out there did re-spray Brembo cover from red to other colour before? And where can I get the covers? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uplinkhack 1st Gear July 18, 2007 Share July 18, 2007 actually i also thinking of that! But i don't quite like the red color and Brembo words.. i'm thinking of taking the Brembo cover, spray silver, then paste my own decal but the problem is dunno if got any issues with those covers or not...i did a search in the forum and found some discussion on covers breaking while travelling or trapping brake dust etc etc... anyways, threadstarter if you find any good deals for someone helping you spray at good price, dun mind let us know..tks!
