Hezabot Member 117 Member For: 7y 9m 4d Posted 02/03/17 11:28 AM Share Posted 02/03/17 11:28 AM Just bought some brembo calipers and turns out they didn't have the brackets (can't find any anywhere). Ended up buying another set of calipers with brackets so I can get some made up (needed a pair with the brackets so they can be copied), anywho im selling a set and keeping a set. (1 set is in good condition and 1 set has paint and clear peeling) I'm getting a pair painted for my self and was wondering should I get the set that's peeling painted and sell the good set or paint both and keep the set that didn't have the peeling? my main question is what would cause the calipers to peel and paint to fade? Does it mean they got hammered? Only asking cause I dnot want hammered calipers that are just gonna be sh*t and stuff up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this still happen even if you repaint the calipers. Reason I ask, is because @-Stever- is going to be pissed in a few years time when they peel again.

Just can't have nice things, if you want them to stay that way, don't use them. But then again what's the point of owning them if they just sit dead! 241km/h in 1000m weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
