Painted my brakes and calipers!

Got my self a little project this weekend. I decided I was sick of seeing the rust on my brakes so I painted them and cleaned the rust deposits off the inside of my alloys.

Also painted the calipers. Could not decide whether to paint them silver or red. Finally took my brothers advice and did them red. Tell me what you think!

I would pick red just because it matches the red in the tail lights.

Nice job i think the red looks good against the silver of the car nice contrast. I have a red car and are leaning towards silver as i think the contrast will look good.

Did you use G2 caliper paint? I think I am going to do this, but in black since I painted my hubs black already.
