Best way to paint brembo calipers

This is how I would do it;

Sand off/remove as much of the old paint as possible (smoothing out any ruff areas with sand paper), de-grease the entire caliper (use brake cleaner), then use a good HT or VHT paint in your desired colour (several thin layers building up & allow to dry between layers).

Spray can's will be easier especially if you remove the calipers from the car and will give better results although a good brush & can of paint will do the job in situ but just remember to mask off any areas you don't want to get paint on. :thumbs:

Few good ideas,

I am looking to fit some braided brake lines soon so I think, so I might spray paint them

Not sure if I need any lacquer as well

 

The hammerite gives a high gloss, no need for lacquer

The secret is to put on thin coats to build up a nice finish

 

As soon as the weather improves I'm doing my 370 calipers with some akebono decals, I'll post some pics :thumbs:
