2009 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Santorini Black

Front Brembo Caliper clean up

My brembos are looking a bit grey and faded on the front, so was thinking about cleaning them up, giving them a lick of paint and getting new brembo decals fitted.

Anyone done this and can recommend good paint and/or where i can get new decals/stickers from? Was thinking about black calipers with red or white decals.

Any help/advice appreciated!

easily done with using most paints, brembo stickers can be bought on ebay..

2002 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Tangiers Orange

I did this on my previous 3.6L TDV8: brake cleaner and brush/toothbrush, hi temp Wurth paint, in black then a couple of coats in gloss laquer.

I had the stickers made but found it nicer not to put them in the end.

I then painted the 'drum' part of the disk brakes/rotors

thanks all. I assume it is ok to brush paint in place, rather than a caliper removal and rattle can spray?

Lovely, cheers.

Do the Stickers need to be a specific size?
