Aww Thanks guys!!! I sure did them myself! Though I'm sorta frustrated.. the back left caliper needs another coat... its a darker red than the rest. But all in all that paint is amazing! Its so glossy and with 2 coats its a nice clean coverage. I love it and I'm very proud of it! I haven't drove her today though, I need a full 24 hrs for the paint to cure. So i couldn't get my muffler done today. Lmao!
I was thinking of the caliper covers too, but for the price of the covers I thought it would just be better to paint it. $200 for covers or $20-30 for paint? Oh, and you get more choices in paint color.
do they have the paint kits in different colors iv only seen it in red... i was thinking about painting my corsa koup calipers gold lik the bremo brakes on the 350z

I'm not too sure yet... I'm waiting for my daddy to get back for a surprise. Then I'll go for FOTM.

It was easy. Just take off the wheel then use the paintbrush to paint it. Paint on a few coats until you're satisfied. And the reason I went with paint instead of covers is because of the price. I don't have 200 dollars to dish out for a few metal plates.
I have a white sedan and am getting some 10 spoke wheels (5 are black and 5 are machined silver).
What are your thoughts on colour for my brakes? Black or White? Not really wanting to put red on mine as I want to keep the whole car as black and white as possible.
Thanks in advance.
