Thank You, they are the Brembo's bought through the most recent GP. I was NOT happy with the look when they arrived, zinc coating looked terrible. I stripped them down with 220 grit sand paper and applied three coats of silver VHT rotor/caliper paint to the non braking surfaces. I now love them! I should not have any problems with rust!

You might want to fix your camera's date code. It says "2004."

Yellow with Silver certainly is a bold move...

Hi Sting,

Great Job! Love the look and use of the yellow instead of the more common red (as another attractive and viable alternative). Frankly, IMHO, painting the calipers provides such an extra touch of class. Great pics. And, thanks for sharing.
