Very nice... I am a fan of painted brakes... to truly see how good they look you have to get someone to drive the car so you can see it while it moves... love the finish too

Looks sick! I wanted that color ever since I saw it on the other painted calipers thread. Where did you get the decal?

Looks great! A nice change of pace from black, blue, and red.
A lot of prep work, but it will pay off in the long run

Did you do it all without removing the calipers? it doesn't appear that you had to remove them. How did you remove the old coating? Sanding, wire brush?
