Default Blue brembo's?
Is there anyway of getting blue brembo's/ or painting them blue to withstand braking temps with paint flaking/ peeling off?

The clear coat is the flakeing part and we are hopeing that powder coating works but will have to wait and see as a freind has just done some and is testing them. We have done rear brembo's with success but front brembo's are another issue.Another option maybe using engine or flame proof paint but haven't gone there yet.

Are you finding that the standard red brembo calipers are flaking? would you have to completely strip the calipers to do it or simply tape off the pistons n what not.

I generally stay away from giving advice on painting calipers as i am not a specialist but i have heard once the caliper is rubbed back and the clear coat flaking is removed the calipers can be repainted as you have mentioned.

Thanks mate. Any information is better than none. Are there any performance brake manufactures that make them in blue?
