Default Brembo Caliper Refurbishment.

Hey all.

Over the winter im looking at getting my Brembo's refurbished.

I will strip them down and even get them glass blasted, all i want is someone to repaint them in the correct shade of gold and fit the Brembo stickers, i can do the rest.


So who do you recommend to carry out the work?

Many thanks.

Godspeed :-) will be slightly more expensive than other places, but well worth it.

Ian will undertake the whole refurbishment, you'd have to ask him if he will do just a repaint.

TBH, anyone can spray them and the stickers come off ebay.......

Hydrotek does them, so probably not.

If refurbing all calipers, how is the shade of gold going to matter? Or just have them red......

Thanks bud, all im after is someone to paint them the right colour. Theres no point in me paying someone to rebuild them as they have only covered 40K.

Im more than capable of replacing the seals and fitting the pistons back.

I will send him a message and ask the question, thank you.

Hi
We could do them for you , but the powder coat gold we have is slightly lighter than the original colour , you may struggle to match them perfectly.

As I say we powder coat them now , as its harder wearing than paint , painted calipers can chip quite easily , if you wanted us to powder coat them , if you strip them , and bead blast them , we would mask the area's that cannot be coated , and powder coat them , clear coat them , and even fit new Brembo logo's if you wish for £25 each , plus P&P back to you

The calipers will be this colour

Hi
We can do all 4 calipers , strip , bead blast , powder coat , apply new logo's , helicoil all the thread , including the bleed nipples for £475 , seals if needed would be £100 for front and rears , as long as the outer boots are not split , we could chemically clean them and reuse them , the only extra would be if there was any corrosion around the lugs , and was bad enough to need building back up with alloy welding , and machining back , we don't use filler as some others do on the lugs
Hope this helps
Cheers Ian

Thank you that's what im after. My Spec C Type RA has just come over from Japan but the calipers have a few chips and are showing there age now.
