    I am going to refinish the brake calipers since they are looking a little old...

    I am looking at either red or yellow and trying to decide wether to label them "brembo" or "ferrari"

    Car is grigio, so what do you guys think?

    I vote red/ferrari lettering- keeps it looking oem and the red matches the taillights for a nice clean look on a grigio

    Unless you have badges on it. Then you could do yellow too. If not I would go red.

    This is my dilemma, the car does have the shields so red or yellow.

    Red with white Ferrari lettering, keep it somewhat original looking. Are you going to paint or powder coat? Powder is best, but much bigger and $ job. I just glass bead blasted and used high temp red caliper paint, then painted 'Ferrari' with high temp white with a stencil. It didn't come out factory perfect, but covered in brake dust behind a wheel it looks just fine :D

    I think it depends on the car color. This Black with yellow is Purrrrfect.
