It just looks a sh*t load better then undercoat grey like mine. If you put a big brembo sticker on the side then maybe.

Guest Guests Posted 15/04/08 07:22 AM Share Posted 15/04/08 07:22 AM Can you buy the paint in the deep red like the OEM brembo colour, I have a set of calipers that turned up badly chipped as the dumb yank threw all the pads & calipers in the box loose.

Don't get me wrong, I hate people that mock things up to be something there not I just don't see painting your calipers as a big deal. I'm going to paint mine red as I think it will look good on a red car, I'm not doing it to try and pass them off as brembo's because any idiot would know there not.
