question re changing color of calipers

[Fjc]

G2 here as well

Is this their standard G2 orange color or did you order it to match the Orange Fury? That looks like a pretty close match!

I am still thinking of painting mine, but not sure what color to go with, probably some matching gray for both calipers or go all black or red? rear is more silver than the fronts. I already have custom high heat Continental decals on the fronts and they are holding up fine so far on the base coating. Well the 4 pots are made by Continental Automotive so I felt it would look more accurate with the Continental logo than "brembo".

How do you go about the lettering? Do you peel that off and get new ones?

if you are talking about PP brembo calipers? The logo is lost since it is originally painted on and you have to resort to a high temp decal to put the logo back on after painting or paint the logo on with a stencil.

Yup, PP Brembos as my GT has the Brembo lettering. No way in hell I would be able to put the lettering back on like original. High temp decal sounds doable though will look around for those. Cheers.

I would choose a color that stands out when it comes to caliper colors. I really like the way my red calipers stand out against my black wheels and black car.

I ordered the orange they had pre made for an s197 color. You can't tell the difference, especially behind the wheel.

Me personally, I got a second set of calipers base GT 4 piston calipers for $50 to dissassemble, sandblast and powder-coat,

Probably not a good idea to powder-coat if you want to track the car. Powder-coating is okay to maybe 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Serious track work requires brake fluid rated for around double that. Do the math. Caliper and other high temp paint are fine. Brembo and other caliper makers say you should not powder-coat.

G2 standard color Orange on my Grabber Blue PP Brembos...

I had mine professionally painted for $395.00 and they look amazing

They do look great. Where did you go to get that done?

 

[LeagueRacing]

I used G2, was going to use blue but it was too dark so changed my colors to lime green

And remember, brembo reads to the front of the car...I put it on backwards on my drivers side.

Not a difficult fix but will require another decal, some more paint and wet sandpaper

Do a good prep job and caliper paint works wonders. I went with a Neon Green on my Ruby Red. I like the contrast it gave. Also had a custom MadMike sticker made to complete the job.

Dang, that looks great, and appears to be a pretty close match to Orange Fury, probably more than close enough for a caliper sitting behind a wheel.

Did you guys that used G2 only have to use one kit for the PP1 brakes?? To do fronts and rears complete. Thanks
