Brembo Colour - Opinions wanted
by pips06 » Wed Aug 28, 2013 8:46 am
A bit of a long story but the place that fitted my brembos didnt attach the lines correctly so i've had a slow leak of brake fluid over the calipers and now need to have them re-painted. Originally, I had Cruisn paint them black as i was after something subtle although after having them fitted for a month i've come to the conclusion that i'd like them to stand out a bit more. A bit of a blessing in disguise i guess as they'll be paying for it. Hopefully the paint place they use will do as good a job as Cruisn.
At this point im thinking either white or red, but leaning towards white. Open to other suggestions also.

Crusin's monster thread of Brembo pic awesomeness is a great reference: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=15726
I was going to procrastinate, but I put it off...

Why did the brake fluid fuck the paint? Did a back yarder do the paint and not know what they were doing?
I painted mine with 2 pack years ago and wash then down with degrease then high pressure wash they look like new
"O" Brembo red or nothing

+1
Pour some brake fluid over the jeep and see how long it still looks nice for.

Yellow gets my vote... Will look great against the white & generally speaking it's associated with high end cars with high end brakes - Think Carbon Ceramic on Ferrari & Porsche.
Orange would be pretty different which is always a winner in my book.
Of course, Brembo Red is never a bad choice

Someones fishing, but nothings biting......
White "IF" you had black rims.
Unfortunately I have to agree with Buddah and would go the Brembo red with white decals.

PM me if you don't know what 2 pack is
