Im sorry if this has been covered many times over...
My car has the Brembo front brake set up but the paint and laquer is flaking and faded...
I would like them re painted/coated
The car is blue so i concidered doing them blue ? grey , yellow or just the same red.
Thing is... i want the brembo logo on again so im guessing laquer needs to be aplied again after painting and the sticker fitted?
Or is it just better to take them to a powder coaters and then have them rebuilt?

Im told any paint in a spray can will just rot and lift over time because wheel cleaners contain chemicals that will disolve the cellusos paint... Is this the case?
 
Paul,I used hammerite single coat on my standard calipers and they lasted 18 months
 
^^^ +1... I have used Smoothrite on my rears and on my AP's and they show no signs and peeling etc... as for colour, pink to go with the car ;P

...mine are black obviously lol...
