what color to get brembo's powder coated
 
whats up guys I'm having the hardest time picking a color to get a set of brembo calipers powder coated. I picked a set up used which the original paint is a little beat up. I have a daytona blue z I've been leaning towards red but I'm a little afraid it won't look right with the blue. If I went with red I'd probably ditch the blue lugs and go with a set of black rays.

Here's a couple pics of my z that they'd be going on...

clean car.

do not limit yourself to such basic choices

pick out a two stage that will make the brakes stand out behind the black spokes.

She is clean !! I'd love to have the calipers match the DB!! Or close to it.

Cux350z Feb 8, 2013 03:53 PM

^brake calipers can be powdercoated. I have done it before.

That site definitly has some crazy colors, I'd have to check with the guy that i was going to get to powder coat them if he could get some of the powder from there or could match the color. I was going to get the powder-coater.com to do them.

The site sells to anyone. You wouldnt need more than half a pound of each color.
Also start looking for Brembo decals.

If the brakes are worn, look for new seals while they are torn apart.

freddys 350z Feb 8, 2013 04:43 PM

any color will go. long as the lugs dont clash.

Yeah I was planning on installing new seals and all, as far as the decals if I get the mike from the thepowdercoater.com to do them he puts new decals on them and all. I just have to see if I would buy the powder from the site you listed if he'd use that brand or if he only uses a specific brand or carrier.

red or the oem brembo color

saywat? Feb 8, 2013 05:07 PM

i vote dark purple

Cux350z Feb 8, 2013 05:12 PM

Mike is a short drive from me. I had him do my vortech intercooler when my oven was too small. He was VERY easy to deal with, great communication ( mind you he is a pilot and travels so can be in any place at any time). I needed to custom match my already used color so i sent him my powder.

I would guess he would be willing to work with you on this more so than a large outfit.

I'd would of liked to of kept the oem brembo gold but nobody can match that color. The closest color is inca pearl but that would have to be painted and not powder coated which I doubt the paint would hold up unlike the powder would.

Cux350z Feb 8, 2013 05:15 PM

this is the color i bought from prismatic

I may end up doing my stoptechs in this color one day. Right now they are too pretty to touch.

terrasmak Feb 8, 2013 05:40 PM

Black or silver

Waiz Feb 8, 2013 06:32 PM

Moved to the correct subforum...

I think red or yellow would look good on your DB

Sickboy101 Feb 8, 2013 07:34 PM

I think you can approach this two ways.

Option 1 - tone on tone and match exterior car color - BLUE

Option 2 - go with the exterior complementry color - ORANGE
