I have the answer. It all started when i chipped my caliper and became a serious eye sore. i tried all sorts of gold paints and nothing was even close. I was then suggested maybe nail polish by my girlfriend. so i headed to Sallys Beauty store and found some nail polish. Went home, cleaned the caliper and … i would say the closest match short of powder coating the caliper again. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/layzie298/brembo.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/layzie298/brembo.jpg) the weapon of choice used against this eye sore… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/layzie298/caliperfix.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/layzie298/caliperfix.jpg) Finger Paints Gift of Gold A67220 thought it may help any STi owners with chipped brembos. ---

i have seen a lot of the red brembos on EVOs go brown but never really seen the gold STi ones change much. maybe i just havent seen a hard tracked STi’s brakes up close yet. ---

How long do you think it will last? I really doubt nail polish is designed for harsh conditions a brake caliper sees. Heat, brake dust, water, salt etc. I give it a week or two max if the car is a DD. ---
