Brembo 8-pot caliper custom colour jobs

Post by KiwiRS4 » Wed Aug 26, 2009 11:21 am

Has anyone toyed with the idea of powder coating their 8-pot calipers other than the standard black with RS logo?

I've seen a few pics of a banana RS4 owner colour matching his pots accordingly which seemed to work nicely.

Any others out there?

I'm liking the yellow combo Davey, are you running stock B5 discs with B7 calipers?

That's very nice, I have some sitting in the cupboard at the momment waiting for new discs. Is there anything special that I would need to ask for to get the same effect?

No they just de-anodise to remove the black and re-anodise neutral which is the aluminium colour.
