If anyone wants to hear negative opinions on something, just show me some photos of cars with black wheels.
THOSE are ugly.

Actually it looks good. It doesn't mean I would do it on that color but it puts a personal touch to the car that says something about you. Hey atleast your boyfriend can't say it is his car. all the sudden I got this song stuck inm my head...
I'm a Barbie girl, blah blah, blah....

I don't have a problem with the pink paint nearly as much as I do with you painting the pads :/
Calipers are what you paint, when you get it all over the pads it doesn't look right.

wow, i didnt expect 3 pages of responses in under 24 hrs!! lol.
I didnt sand anything down, i know i shouldn't have painted the pads and thanks for the compliments
I just wanted to do somethign to make it mine...and everyone here knows me and knows that i love pink--so it works for me..
If i had any *****, i'd paint it a metallic pink (with the flakes in it) ...but i think i'd be pushing it.
I'll post full pics later today!

(sorry to ***** up your thread, Morgan! )
I dunno... Up close and motionless, it doesn't look too bad. The polished lip helps out a bit (even though it clashes with the rest of the car). But from any reasonable distance, or at speed, all you see is dull black. Just not my cup-o-tea.
I'm wondering now if I should paint my calipers blue... Hmm....

And i've seen a few cars with black rims and polished lips on the track. Looks sexy as hell in motion (In my personal opinion). I guess its just a difference in opinion. Cool.
Morgan... sorry for jacking the thread. I'm done
