You ever see what happens to the Gold after a couple track events?
to the OP: looks great. I think that I will do mine in black, no sticker though.

the logos are silver instead of white.

That looks really nice. Where do you get this Duplicolor spray, where did you get the silver Brembo tags and do you use any kind of clearcoat?

The paint was off the shelf at Advanced Autoparts. no clear coat is needed.

I took my brakes off, sanded, and painted them, then painted the logo on. It isn't perfect by any means but it turned out pretty good for a DIY.
The picture was before I finished touching it up and baking them. I will update once I put them on the car.
Can you do this to stock non-Brembo calipers?
I recently bought new pads and rotors and ss lines, so removing the calipers to clean and paint makes a lot of sense for me. Of course if this can't be done to stock, then please do let me know...

I would like to paint my stock non-brembo calipers too, but I don't want to take them off. The OP didn't take his off, so would there be any reason I would need to for non-brembo calipers? Will I be able to do just as good of a job as if I took them off? I want to paint them black, by the way, to make them less noticable.
