Rob, you'll find that Honda Inca Gold Y61P5 is a very close match to the darker gold version of the Brembos. You could add some yellow pearl to lighten it up a bit if desired.

Here's some Brembo's in Inca I painted:



Ferrari yellow that a customer wanted for her Golf R:



Pornstar Pink (yes, that is the name of the colour!):



Traditional red with white lettering for a customer's EVO VIII:



Or here's a set I did in candy orange:



Black with silver logo:



Food for thought!

Do you use 2 pak to paint the calipers? How does it handle the heat?

Hi Ash,

Yes, we use PPG 2 pack. Depending on what the customer wants, we either use direct gloss (solid colours) or clear over base (solids, metallics and candies). We can do gloss, satin or matt clearcoat too.

The orange candy calipers were painted back in December 2009. They were fitted to my WRX STi that made a genuine 300kw at all four wheels on one of Melbourne's toughest dynos. That car was driven hard every day. I still keep in touch with the new owner and I can confidently tell you that they look as good today as compared to when they were painted. So for street driving and spirited/performance driving applications they work fine.

That said, extreme high heat usage such as track days can discolour the calipers. Even track-used Brembos do this. They affectionately have the name 'Brownbos'!

Two questions...
Which colour makes the car:
Go quicker?
Stop faster?

[albanycobra]

Red?? for stop....

These calipers all look awesome, but it looks like you have smacked the paint straight over the top of the whole thing - crossover pipe and all - do you not disassemble them and strip them down first?

Thanks, glad you like them.

We do media blast the caliper to remove the existing coating. But unless the customer specifically requests the caliper halves be split, we leave them alone, and that's what we recommend to them. We were told by Subaru that if you split the halves, it affects the seals.

HSV and Porsche also paint their calipers joined with the bolts torqued, as do other well known caliper refinishers such as PowerStation

For an example, I refer you to this 2014 Porsche GT3 factory caliper:

ok goodo. I might need you to blast/paint a couple of APs for me for the daily driver.

Just got a new SS-V Redline with the front Brembos, I have a rear AP setup that will go straight-on but they need painting silver to match the Brembos

Thanks Paintwerks...I think I have the Honda Inca Gold...Ill try the yellow and maybe some extra flake. The original Brembo colour seems to have a lot more sparkly bits !
