calipers paint help...

(not photos of my car)
This is what ordinary 197 calipers and alloys look like

and I want this colour for the alloys, and the brembo-red for the calipers

should I do it to my NIMBUS 197 ?

saw it on a meggy r26 (stock) looks great.
Anyway, if I manage to find this red paint, should I paint the calipers myself or let the pros do it? because i don't know how to keep the black BREMBO letters if i paint it red?
Hope this doesn't sound stupid...
any comments are welcome

wouldnt bother... too many red calipers around these days

I thought so too, but not too many red BREMBO calipers ha !?

anyway, now that I know YOU don't like the looks, do you know the answer to the other part of the question?

you can buy brembo stickers on ebay. Most brembos are red mate! hence why thats the most painted colour cos people want the brembo look.
i like the looks, but wouldnt like having the same as the next guy - it looks good.

i paid 40 quid to get my calipers done ....... they took them off to paint them .
ppl will say it's easy , but 40 quid is not alot of money

well i'm not from the UK/france etc where there are a lot of renaultsport cars and/or similar "pocket rockets"..
I'm from Montenegro...Believe it or not, in my 20 years of ...living...I have seen one 172 and one 182...
For the locals down here, there's a "replacement" - golf mk3 gti and vr6

So I'm not afraid that the "guy next door" will have the same car/callipers !

btw, any other solution except the stickers? Won't the stickers melt or deform or something because of the heat?

it is easy, but is even easier if you take them off!!

Do it!!!

still wondering about the brembo sign?...

are e-bay stickers the only solution?

I painted my callipers myself i am very proud of them, tin of yellow calliper paint, a brush and lots of cleaning stuff to clean the callipers with. Took me an afternoon to do them
