Painted calipers *pics*
Duplicolor brush on is the way to go. Easier than spray, and with the pebbled surface of the caliper there are no brush marks at all. Take the calipers off (hang them with some wire to you don't have to touch the brake lines), paint all the visible surfaces, and do at least 3 coats.

yeah rear brakes look awful, is there any big brake for the rear?

Unless you have money to burn, don't spend it on making your rear brakes bigger...unless you're doing track events and you're running coilovers, sway bars, strut tower braces, X-braces, etc. Your front brakes do almost all the "braking" during normal driving with a factory car...but the stiffer you make your suspension, the more braking power goes to your rears.
By all means upgrade the fronts...but don't get up-sold into rears unless you really need them.
looks good bro
i did mine as well a couple of months ago and i got good feedback from everyone
for 15 bucks, it's one of the nicest mods; it changes the whole appearance of your car [sm=bling.gif]

I would like to get the A8's in the front and have the stock A4 fronts in the rear......As we all know I take mine to the track

Yup, A8 brake upgrade is very cost effective...not quite stage 1, but pretty close and good value for the money. One of these days...
