I want to paint my gold rear STI calipers to match my Brembo GT fronts.

DiscoWagon · 07-17-2006, 02:05 PM

Hey guys, I am buying the TWR racing r160 conversion kit to fit rear STI Brembo calipers onto my 96 Impreza. But I have the front Brembo GT kit and I want to make my rear calipers red to match. What is the best way to paint calipers to make them look like factory? (powdercoat?) Thanks in advance.

I'd say get them professionaly powder-coated.

I think you will find if you try to have them PC'd, the cost of the custom powder is going to be prohibitive. Unless money is no object. Paintwise, I think you will find that Honda Inca Pearl is a really close match.

FYI, he has the Brembo GT bbk in red (so it says).

It's not expensive. I got a front bbk powdercoated for $70 bucks and it looked incredible.
