bizz Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Hi All, Where can I get my hands on some of the standard brembo gold paint for the brake calipers? My rear calipers look fine but need to refurb the fronts and a lick of paint would do them the world of good. Thanks for your help Quote
Commander Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 +1 My previous owner's garage looks like they were taking the split pins out without much consideration for the paint work Also, can you get a service kit for them with new seals, springs, nipples, etc? Might as well do the lot while they're off... (Soz for hi-jacking a bit, you just reminded me of it!) Quote
bizz Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 No worries man, just hope somone can help us out Quote

bizz Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 Cheers man, Looks like it's hard to get a pot of the actual paint for those calipers then I want to strip mine back to bare metal and re do them from there. Don't you guys supply it Quote

Don't you guys supply it If you're stripping them down mate get them powder coated that way you can change the colour standard colour is horrible Im doing mine red for £80 (all 4) Edited September 23, 2013 by BillyZed 1 Quote
bizz Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 arr i really like the standard colour but seeing as it looks pretty impossible to get it I might have to change. Will have to see what colour I end up painting the car before I settle on a colour. Think I will have to start up a thread to get people's ideas and choose a good one. I'm rubbish at colours and stuff lol Quote
BillyZed Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Yeah good shout, or get one of those photoshop apps and play around with them 1 Quote
MattWorth Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I am looking to change my calipers from the gold to Green, any ideas on how best to do this? (apologies, I am a newbie to customisation and a newbie to the Zed world ) Quote
StevoD Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Surprised your not getting some massive man sized stoppers Quote
Lexx Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) How much do you need? Humbrol model Paint is an exact match . I put a post up ages ago in the FAQ. I think from memory it's number 11 Edited October 14, 2013 by Lexx Quote
bizz Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 cheers Lexx but i need to do 2 full calipers Quote
Lexx Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 You could coat them with a heat treat base paint, then apply the humbrol as a top coat. Not sure how many tins you'd need like. But you can get it for £1 a tin. Quote
Lexx Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 The actual Brembo colour is Honda Inca Pearl Y-61p Quote
