So Ive seen a few posts lately about painting brembos & thought I would share my experience, I did this months ago just never got round to posting before.

Hope someone finds it usefull.............

Tools you will need



Sorry, wrong pic




I decided that to do it properly I needed to remove the lot and get myself a big pot of elbow grease!

So I set about the most important part of the job if you want it to last, CLEAN CLEAN and then CLEAN AGAIN, I used degreaser, soapy water and a wire brush and just kept scrubbing & cleaning including all the parts that you cant see, this is why I opted to remove then from the car.

The results








Next up a good few coats of primer, I found heating them up slightly with a heat gun helped it to dry quicker between coats & also eliminated any chance of the paint running




Then loads of coats of your chosen colour (red is the best ) , again I heated it gently between coats to help it dry & stop it running






Add the decals & give it a good few coats of clear lacquer on top, this will toughen up the decals and make them last a lot longer






Next repeat the process for the drums, obviously without the lacquer








Put it all back together and hey presto.............nice and shiny Brembo's that should last a long time

I also took the opportunity to fit some EBC Green Stuff pads (which are fantastic by the way)






Hopefully you will agree, a professional looking finish all for the cost of a few cans of spray and a bit of hard work  MY07 TDV6 HSE Stornaway & Ivory

Come on then, tell us what type of paint you used etc etc

Looks good though In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

To be honest SRE, I cant remember

It was proper caliper paint from a local car spares shop and a metal primer with a clear lacquer, nothing fancy really

I cant really remember how many coats I gave it either

I know I kept going until I ran out though  MY07 TDV6 HSE Stornaway & Ivory
