Where can I get a brembo stencil from? Seen alot of XR calipers painted and don't really like the finish of them. Just bought new rims so really want to finish it off with nice looking brakes.I was thinking of getting them blasted and properly spraying them but I'll take the easiest way of getting a good outcome.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83445-repainting-brembos/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stripped mine with a chemical stripper and it was a biotch! replacement decals (high temp versions are required) are all over ebay. I used 3M caliper paint but painted mine satin black so I can't help you out with the color info! I wouldn't bother clear coating them as that seems to be where the issues start. Just go easy on any acid wheel cleaners on the future once they are painted.EDIT: if you do paint yourself (or somebody else does it) make sure you/they use a good etch primer Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83445-repainting-brembos/#findComment-1345679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
