Looks nice! I did the same thing with my race wheels
In the last picture, it's outdated. I've also now painted the inner brake rotors black.

Of course that could be bullshit - but my car will probably never see anything more than autocross, so it will probably never know the difference.The Caliper Paint features Ceramic Resins for maximum heat dissipation.

I will never understand why you kids want to draw attention to your puny little cast iron sliding calipers.If you had big aluminum jobs with 4 or even 6 pistons, well that I could understand. I still wouldn't repaint them red but I can understand bragging rights.

That's pretty damn nice, bmcreider. Where did you take those last pics at? Aalvarez had sent me a pic on the cell. Good shit.
The top one was at the back of some business in Denton's square.
The bottom one was a run down, crappy mini storage place 5 minutes from there.

By the way I put red pinstriping on the edge of my wheels.
Rice, rice, baby.
