Heres a thread of Brembo and other Subaru calipers that Ive repainted so far.

Ive been asked to put this up so people can see what the finished color combo looks like to aid their decisions...

Feel free to add others you may have.

Mark have you ever seen or done a white?
Always wondered what it would look like with a pearl white brake caliper. Probably bad I guess :(

When I get back from QLD, Ive got a set lined up from an OzFoz member thats being done in white with black decals....

Pics when done.

Ive just put together a complete f & r bolt on set for a member here inc strip and repaint. $2250

Depends on a few factors like how much the calipers can be bought for and what choice of pad / rotor you choose.

The only thing I make money on is the stripping and painting as I provide the calipers, rotors and pads at cost.

The attention to detail in these works is amazing. 8)

What are all the primary colours you can spray in? And how do you mix up custom colours?

That blue on silver one attracts me the most. Is there any clear on that one?

You're attention to detail is brilliant mate.

Love them! Might get you to give me some pointers for painting my GT calibers :P

I have done a few sets in a darker red (tinted), delicious red is too bright IMO:

Wondered the same thing, but figured I'd probably have an aneurysm trying to keep them clean. BTW although all of these look great, the red on black and the blue on silver look REALLY great. Nice work.

I always had a thought of doing a pearlescent white on Brembos, with blue logo and some Black 08 Enkeis. Of course just a thought. And yeah keeping them clean is a consideration.

I use the VHT caliper paint colors. Other custom colors I can get made at an auto paints store.

There is clear on the silver one, but silver doesnt get the shine darker colors do.

Whenever mate, you decide the color...
