looks good dude. Meticulous little bugger, eh? Using a little brush and stuff...

I just spray bombed mine. Covered the rotor, pads... it's all good. Just did a few hard stops before actually having to depend on my brakes.

yea well i was at pep-boys, they had the dupli-color kits. Colors were gloss black, blue, and silver. Black is out cause you wouldnt be able to tell, there is nothing blue on the car so i thought it might look odd. So after changing my mind acouple of times inside the store i went with silver. It just cleans it up a bit, not like really noticeable...but clean.

Whatever man, I painted mine black! ... And have completely forgot about it. Haha, just HID my brakes I guess... puny little bastards anyways. I'll get red calipers when they're floating over 13" rotors.

I like the way it looks, esp with the silver body, some nice aftermarket 5 spokers on there you'll be all set.
