Painted Caliper Restoration Service
Learn What it Means to Have Your Painted Calipers Restored the PMB Performance Way
Read our Painted Caliper White Paper to learn what it takes to restore your Brembo brakes to better-than-new condition.
Our friends at Brembo are the hands-down leaders in painted calipers. They began this process in the early '80s, and they were a huge hit. Who among us hasn’t uttered the words "Big Red?" For a while there, red-painted calipers became synonymous with performance across the industry. It literally sent droves of performance-minded enthusiasts out to the driveway with a can of red spray paint to add 10hp to their now-custom ride!
Through decades-long manufacturing processes, Brembo has literally perfected the art of the painted caliper. So, as with our factory-emulated zinc-plated steel caliper processes, we ask: why reinvent the wheel?
There are hundreds of companies out there painting, repainting, and refinishing Brembo calipers. Notice we didn’t mention “Restoring” Brembo calipers. The time has come when many painted calipers are in need of attention. Porsche 951 calipers can be 40 years time-worn. It’s customary for us to want to have them look and perform the best they can. It’s also deeply ingrained in our human genome to seek out the “best deal”.
Do yourself a favor: take 5 minutes to find out what you’re getting into. These are brake calipers we’re talking about…those little things on each wheel separating us from life and death.
Take a look at some painted calipers below, done the PMB Performance way: Stripped bare and retaining the factory anodizing. Brembo factory seals, always. Re-plated hardware. Finishing with a 4-step paint process (that includes proper branding). Nobody in the industry offers this level of finish.
