So Mark is re painting my Brembo Calipers.

My Brembo calipers went from this:

Mark is putting on the decals this week and I will take pics with a proper camera to show them off on the weekend.

The colour is Porsche yellow and I used the Brembo Porsche colour code to get the colour made up in 2k, the clear coat paint used was also 2k.

We followed a slightly different painting process to Brembo so the Porsche yellow came up a little deeper, which I actually prefer.

Top job by Mark, I can comment enough on the quality of his work. :D

No.

Mark sourced the rotors & also the dogbones to mount the rear calipers.

And the fiddly bit of making sure the paint doesnt go where its not meant to means a good result inside and out.

Outdoor furniture place on Old Geelong Rd Hoppers. Really needs a sand and re-stain though. :mrgreen:

looks very good. Well done.
If you use an slr in that light use daylight white balance setting to get the colour right. Might not be true anyway unless its viewed on a calibrated monitor.
Otherwise wait to see it in person.
:wink:

Thats about the third location I tried before the color looked pretty accurate in the pic. :wink:

A piece of white paper in the background will help with a reference colour.
