Painted Calipers

[kris-182]

Iv been wanting to do this for a while, did have in mind blue but last minute changed my mind TO RED. I expect hate from some people if not majority but I like it. Oh and there are no brembo stickers

1st coat

I only have 3 axle stands and was also working on the head light issue (UAV crap) but only managed to solve 90% of the problem so will do the rest when I get chance.

Finished coat and wheels back on.

Hope the hate aint to much :approve:

Looks really good. Much better than I expected red to look. I'm going to do mine soon but probably in silver.

IMO the standard 1*2 brakes only look good painted silver/ black.

[Gouldy]

I would have went the black route not only to go with your colour scheme but to hide the ugly b*stards

Looks good - looks like the wheels have been nicked when on the bricks, nice job though!

No left them on with a very steady hand and couple of brushes. I only concentrated on painting the area that would be seen as well. I put 4 coats on and did get a little on the disks but thats now come off.

Cheers for the rest of the comments

Wheels suit nicely!! Callipers look decent, not sure on red but looks alright!
