New style in just a few hours
The "big" thing to do on sports car is to paint the brake calipers.
I was always considering it. Everyone told me to go red but I felt that was tooo loud for my car.
Took me about 3 and half hours. Could be done in a lot less time. The first one took me awhile.
I used Duplicolor's Caliper Kit.
Another member on the club, WB RX-8, had purchased black paint. I went out and bought some silver for a little suprise. I decided to do my calipers themselves black. But visible part of the rotor(non braking surface) I was sick of the rest. So i blended the silver and black to make a more titatinum metallic gray.
Before Wheel on
Before: Wheel Off
Caliper Painted
Rotor and Outer Metal shield painted
From a distance
Upclose

Should've painted the dust shields while in there, but looks good!
Mine are blue with the dust shields black.
