Copper plated akebono!!
 

What up peeps, as you know the AKEBONO BBK upgrade is an affordable upgrade an alternative to stock, of course not quite Rotora, Stoptech, Greddy or other high end brands, but a great improvement in stopping power and looks with the larger rotors. Most often we paint, powder coat, hydrodip.. But I wanted to try something different, Started with polished ( which looks great) but had an idea to try something I saw done twice..on a Bentley caliper and one other Brembo caliper... Anyway here is the finished product... I hope you enjoy and open up new creative ideas for 2015 with different polishes and finishes... My first set of Calipers I rattled canned, looked good, 2nd set Jon Paul Gabrenya painted a custom ZR1 blue with pearl clearcoat, this set copper polished by Vivek Baid from Baid Polishing... Will post pics as soon as they arrive and installed...

Just saw these on FB. pretty sick!

these looks effin awesome.

wouldn't work in my color scheme, but definitely could look badass on certain cars.

how did the get the akebono logo to look that way?

I've been meaning to copper-plate the CCW SP500 I have. To protect the finish, they will be powder-coated clear.

Pretty. Shiny. :tup:

Those look clean! Copper is becoming popular.

nice! are you going to have to continuously polish them with brasso or something to keep them fresh, or will it hold?

Anti Venom..oil slick sticker... before the clearcoat ..i dont know I think they might, i wrapped my car in the brushed steel vinyl.. i got the idea when i pulled some change out my poclet one day..a new quarter and a shiny penny lol

hey Mike, they have a clear coat on top so hopefully i will be able to wipe em off.. i got my strut baran battery tie down done also..and i have them in hand so they have been pretty easy to clean...so far

I hope they clear coated them to seal them from the elements, or they will get dull really fast

Next week vid should be up of brakes installed...please subscribe and watch, i am an amateur video editor(so dont clown me to bad) and all movies made right on iphone 6....

Damn

That would also look killer on a black car with persimmon interior.

Nice work!

awesome! I really like it!

I have a set of Ping Eye 2 copper golf clubs that match (:
