the custom colors are either 1K or 2k paint. Fine for normal driving and some spirited runs, but not track work. For track work your limited to dedicated caliper paints which are your standard colors. My auto paints shop doesnt mix high temp paint.

The BIGGEST pain in the ass calipers to do EVER, but to date still my favourite. :)

Thanks to Mark's handy work and his excellent choice in colour for my brembo's, I've had plenty of people stop and look at my car, then give me a thumbs up for the brakes!

But I still haven't had any attention from the 5-0 yet, which is good!

I chipped my front calipers and asked Mark to redo them again in Porsche Yellow. Once again, great job :good:
He also replaced the bleeder screws as a couple were weeping slowly..

The before on those was a nightmare. Powdercoated and I had to completely split the calipers, remove everthing and have them chemically stripped to get the powdercoat off.

Surely Ben's polished set was still the most painful to do!

Are they the same calipers? These look more of a metallic green than what's posted above.



And plus infinity to the cherry blossom brembos :good:


i'm in love!
