BREMBO Touch up paint for $5.00
Hello,
Here's a quick guide I made on making your own touch-up paint for under $5.00.
You can get both of these metallic enamels from Hobby Lobby in the model car isle.
What you'll need:
Paints
Q-tip or brushes (whichever you like)
Mixing Board
Some sort of cleaner to clean your calipers.
Here's the paint you'll need. It's TESTORS brand, and the brown is called "brass" and the orange I forgot.. Sorry but just compare colors lol, it's on the same rack.
Closer look at the orange so you can compare
So first you'l open your orange, and mix it all up. Then pour the same size as the lid, or a nickle out on your mixing board like so.
Do the same with the brown, and add ONE DROP. Let one drop fall from its own weight into the orange.
Magic happens and brembo colored paint comes out.
Start small, build your layers up and clean your edges and you'll get the outcome like so.
(white lines are dust, not scratches ;-) )
Now I didn't sand or prep other than just cleaning so you can still see the edges if you get down and look. However, from standing distance you can hardly tell and it looks better than previous knicks and scratches.
Thank you and enjoy...

I just realized that you're in DFW. You should come out to the meet we're having next weekend.
A lot of us locals like to track our Zs and many of us have Brembos so I'm sure we'd all be interested in seeing how it turned out in person.
