It looks like you spent a lot of time and energy in painting your brake calipers, but sorry to say man you wasted your time. Unless you get rite up to it no one can tell the difference. Maybe you can just paint over it with red or blue....

I did mine in black on purpose so they're not noticeable. I figured when they get dirty with brake dust, and they WILL get dirty, they will be black and still look about the same even when filthy as hell! Anything is better than that green statue of liberty look I had before.

How about some red?





They look better in your 2nd pic. I still think much better than your stock/greenish color.

Here is my full write-up:

You nailed the description of that color. Glad it's gone. I'm now considering some black s2000 decals, for a subtle touch.

Why would you paint it almost the same color as the bare metal??

I just painted mine yesterday with the silver g2 system. The silver was a bit darker than i had hoped as well.
