Nice Frayz As Paul Palmer said, we painted my Brembo`s black, firstly as mine were almost faded from red to pink, and secondly to suit my black wheels. I was very happy with them when done, but once the Brembo logo was added it felt all totally worthwhile

Looks like a great paint job on the calipers

Excellent guide too. I will be doing my AP calipers the same way. Any tips for highlighting the "AP Racing" imprint?

If your AP logo is sunk into the caliper the way i think it is then id say..

First paint the black. Then buy some VHT paint in the colour of your choice and spary it into a pot and carefully using a brush, paint the inside of the AP logo. Chances are this area of paint will be quite thick when you do it so make sure you leave it for at least 3 or 4 days before clear coating.

The other way to do it is spray the AP logo colour and let it dry, then buy some masking fluid. Masking fluid is available from most craft stores and is basically liquid latex. You could then pour this into the AP logo and let it set, paint your caliper colour and then peel the masking out and clear coat afterwards.

Be sure to post your results mate

The liquid latex method seems like the best bet....I might not even need the repaint the writing as it looks to be in good nick....will have a closer look.

Thanks for the tip
