    I’m looking at painting my callipers nitrous blue as mine are silver. I’ve found etech paint that looks the same can anyone confirm that this is a good match and that their paint is good. Here’s a pic of the colour.

    Blue are nice but almost all have blue…. the raw look also fits in with my unfinished spec r cooler and so on 👌🏻👍

    I wonder how much it would cost for a company to paint them because I bet for resilience the paint needs to be cured in an oven.

    I definitely would be paying to have this done properly. The right company would also be able to put the brembo logo on too.

    Yeah, I’m one of the rear few with silver. I always wanted the blue but the silver grew on me.

    I can just imagine the conversation between GM and his Mrs…

    Darling how do you use thee oven?

    Why are you hungry?

    No I just need to cure my brake calipers.

    Well you can f**k off as I have just cleaned the oven

    Thanks for the reply’s guys I’ve decided to keep the callipers silver. I would like yo know how best to clean them up they seem quite scruffy looking. Normal washing isn’t cleaning them 😕

    Decided that actually I did want to paint the brakes blue and they look awesome. I painted them them GT blue from etec it’s the same blue as the factory callipers I fitted the brembo stickers in white. I’m very pleased with how they look. I’ll post pics through the week 😁
