Remember to rinse the calipers with boiling water before u start painting to get rid of the chemicals, or ur paint will strip off real soon

Bringing up an old thread... Found the link to the DIY on rexnet. However if painting brembo's, how do you not paint the little rubber 'plug' at the top of each caliper? Also does anyone know where to get brembo decals from?
Cheers,
James

Wrap the bleed nipple in aluminum foil or something?

Decals perhaps --> http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Brembo-Brake-...05123001r15259

I was just about to write a thread about this ahaah. I was told you have to sand the calipers with super light sand paper first?
