My mate has a Seat Leon Cupra R and it has Brembo brake calipers and they have faded (ment to be red), is there anything he can do to restore them back to red or any where he can send them to be sorted?

I think the laquer has started to chip/flake off

you should still be able to enhance the colour but it will burn the paint alot easier if you dont watch what your doing.also youl need to protect it with sumthing durable to make it last.

Just re laquer them mate, they all doo it and usually a lick of laquer does the trick.

You can repaint them, there is a special finish that resists heat, brake fluid, salt etc (Contains PFTE) and oven cured, this is one of the options the company did that I brought my calipers from.

Some of the paint was flaking from mine so a repaint was in order. I used high temp paint from halfrauds followed by seat flash red and laquer to make them stand out. Havent put the decals on yet but you get the idea.





Alot of people say that hammerite smooth red does the job although is a shade or two brighter than the original colour.
