Looks good. I did mine one side at a time as well, with a week between the efforts. (did the drivers side first )

Looking good. Very tasteful color for the Shinka. I guess when it's sunny, you should get a pic including a bit more of the car. That would rock!

Good color combo. Any chance you could take some pics some time a bit zoomed out so we can see the gold against the black cherry?

I gotta ask, what's with the white arrow on your passenger rear window?

shinka213: Great pics... thanks for taking those wide pictures. I don't think any color would have gone better with the black cherry than gold. Did you paint the calipers yourself or did someone do it for you? Do you know what type of paint was used? I had considered painting mine but never got around to it.

Hey Flawless...thanks for the kudos....I did it myself and used the G2 paint kit....its a brush on which I think is much easier to work with than a spray..I've seen others who have used spray and even painted the pad.....I dont think that looks good...I like the contrast....I got the kit from mazdaparts.com - I'm gonna do the other side next weekend....
