Brembo repainting!!!
hi guys i know there is a thread about repainting brembos, but i need to know if the paint can hold up just like factory one. also, should i sand them down and completely take factory paint off of them? so far i only found Humbrol 54 as the closest to gold brembo color. thanks in advance

I believe the originals were powdercoated. I could be wrong. As far as painting it goes, if you use caliper paint and know how to paint it, it should be fine. I painted mine 3 months ago, did pad bedding. 10 60-0 stops in a row. X2. And its been fine so far.
As far as i can tell, it should hold up fine if done and prep properly.

I actually sanded it down to where the clear coats were gone. Then i just sprayed it with the caliper paint with no primer. Light coats and i used 2 cans of paint and 1 can of clear coat
Edit: wash it good and mask it off well. I took my time prepping it

Because powdercoat doesnt chip... if your using the proper paint and uts bubbling, you have a lot more to worry about than just the paint bubbling. 900f is A LOT of heat. Thats total brake failure before paint bubbling

I've seen a few street cars with the high temp paint stuff just start coming off.
It's the cheap solution. If that's what you want to do go ahead, but for every car that has held up with "high temp paint" there's probably at least another that didn't hold up.
