You should take a trip to the states and visit some of us, we can have Thomas-meets.
Nice... that's one area that I am not so familiar with...

Oh and if I'm in the states, you can be sure I'll do a coast-to-coast tour to visit all my fans

I'm having one hell of a time trying to find authentic gold Brembo paint. Or at least a very very very close match. Damn exclusivity!!

call brembo, say you have a gold caliper of theirs and it needs repainting because you did some work and scratched it up.

Or even better, say someone else was doing work and scratched it up.

Or, if you have connections, you could get someone in a body shop to order it for you.

EDIT: Looks like Brembo may powdercoat their calipers.

See, I've read many many subaru, nsx, and s2000 forums, where people have the factory Brembo gold calipers and they scratch it, etc. People have called Brembo, Nissan, and Subaru and all of them have said they can't get it. Some big load of BS to me...

Or economics.

"What, your calipers are scratched? Well, we can sell you a new set for a few hundred dollars."

man thats crap, i would at least give it a shot. tell them you will switch brake companies over not being able to touch up the paint.... even if they powdercoat them they still have paint to do it with.

^ yeah, that's actually what a bunch of STI owners were told. I'm just going to buy a powder coat gun and get some candy gold pigment with metal flake. It'll get damn close enough.
Brembo's kinda stupid for not offering their gold pigment, since they'd make a good profit off of just that.
