el 3.2S Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Anyone recommend a paint which is the same as the Brembo red? Found this one in link below and it appears to be what is needed? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Professional-brake-caliper-paint-high-temperatures-Brembo-Red-FS-Racing/111225892152?epid=1045150470&hash=item19e5946d38:g:Q3IAAOSwGn5ZtC~j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 That's expensive! And with the separate hardener you only get one bite at them. Live found they seem to always need two coats. You'll need all four wheels off to accomplish that. theres a link in my Molly post to the paint supplier on Amazon I've used. Think it was £11 for either a tin or a can. If its not there then it's on the 993 turbo I restored a couple of years ago. Used the same supplier. I also bought some stainless bleed nipples fron biggred to compliment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four wheels have been off my car for some time due to still waiting to see if my rear caliper is salvageable following the bleed nipple incident. Will have a look through your threads.

Lonewolfgjp Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I ve used hycote red caliper aerosol on both sets of my Boxster calipers. I also give them a coat of high temperature lacquer as well but you don't need to. Both tins about £15? Maybe a touch brighter than oem Brembo but pretty sweet looking ?
