bizz Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi All, Where can I get my hands on some of the standard brembo gold paint for the brake calipers? My rear calipers look fine but need to refurb the fronts and a lick of paint would do them the world of good. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 +1 My previous owner's garage looks like they were taking the split pins out without much consideration for the paint work Also, can you get a service kit for them with new seals, springs, nipples, etc? Might as well do the lot while they're off... (Soz for hi-jacking a bit, you just reminded me of it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizz Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Cheers man, Looks like it's hard to get a pot of the actual paint for those calipers then I want to strip mine back to bare metal and re do them from there. Don't you guys supply it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you guys supply it If you're stripping them down mate get them powder coated that way you can change the colour standard colour is horrible Im doing mine red for £80 (all 4) Edited September 23, 2013 by BillyZed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizz Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 arr i really like the standard colour but seeing as it looks pretty impossible to get it I might have to change. Will have to see what colour I end up painting the car before I settle on a colour. Think I will have to start up a thread to get people's ideas and choose a good one. I'm rubbish at colours and stuff lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattWorth Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I am looking to change my calipers from the gold to Green, any ideas on how best to do this? (apologies, I am a newbie to customisation and a newbie to the Zed world ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) How much do you need? Humbrol model Paint is an exact match . I put a post up ages ago in the FAQ. I think from memory it's number 11 Edited October 14, 2013 by Lexx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Sorry, its number 54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizz Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 cheers Lexx but i need to do 2 full calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 You could coat them with a heat treat base paint, then apply the humbrol as a top coat. Not sure how many tins you'd need like. But you can get it for £1 a tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The actual Brembo colour is Honda Inca Pearl Y-61p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
