I think it looks great. I want to do mine in red. did you take the calipers apart or paint them on the car and just tape everything up?

BTW, how are they holding up?

I like em wicked. To me red calipers just look like crap on alot of cars. Blue and silver always work good together

I did mine in a semi-flat black color. I also painted the hub area of the rotor, and vain section. This was about 4-5 months ago and they have held up real well.

I just hit all the parts with a wire wheel on a drill, sprayed and wiped off with brake cleaner, and paint.

The paint I used is a solvent based paint that is good to around 600 degrees C

Holding up awesome. I just wash the brake dust accumulation off when I wash and they look like new.
