Default Rear Brembo Colour Change
Have had a busy 4 days working on the car, hopefully fixing the little niggles it's had recently.

Last job on the list was to paint the rear calipers.

Since fitting the Ap's on the front it looked a bit odd with black calipers on the front and gold on the rear.... and i wasn't going to get some AP rear to match!!!

They came out pretty well. Only slight problem is the replacement Brembo stickers (in yellow) were a big bigger than they should have been, but i can live with that.

Nice one. Did you remove the calipers or mask around them? (the finish looks like it was sprayed?)

Masked around them.

Yep, used a spray. Only did it as a (very) quick job, but came out ok.

nice job liking the black and orange!.

Could you not cut the brembo symbol off the sticker, centralised the lettering and placed the symbol above or below the text for next time??? just a thought ?
