Hi Guys,
I'm undecided if I plasti dip flat black my Brembos. What do you suggest?

 

ahhh NO

 

I wouldn't. Adds contrast to the black on red. Sick car though!

 

I saw a set of the black track pack brembo wheels in person. They look much better in person. But they have a nice gloss finish. Not sure plasti dip would look as good.but if money is an issue, give it a try, you can always peel it off anyways

 

Try it, if you dont like it peel it off. I also like the black brembos but they have a nice gloss finish, not gonna get that with plasti dip. To bad the brembos are not available in a wider size

 

It will melt when it gets hot. Paint or powdercoat are teh only durable choices you have.

 

According to their site, it's been tested to about 200 degrees F without its characteristics (physical composition) being altered.

I still wouldn't recommend it though. The texture is all wrong for show parts of a car. Needs to be more of a high gloss if you're painting them black.

 

200 degrees isn't much for a brake caliper. I have had some experience on road courses and can tell you that they can get hot enough to catch paper on fire by touch. I was driving a Brembo equipped STI at V.I.R. and they got so hot the gold coating on them turned black and you could actually see the heat waves traveling through them. Not to mention the smoke. Oh, and the center caps of the BBS wheels also melted. Granted, I was racing and in it to win it, and a street car would never see those conditions. But, on a hot day, in heavy traffic, it isn't hard to exceed 200 degrees on those calipers.

 

I think he's referring to his Brembo wheels, not the actual calipers.

 

Couldn't have said it any better myself!
