The weds are up for sale, I'm attempting to stop tracking the F and focus on the racecar build, but it's hard when the racecar isn't ready and I want to race!

Took some time to paint the calipers this weekend. End result is pretty good. Definitely learned a lot. Color came out way better than I thought it would. Pictures don't do it justice. Maybe my DSLR can capture the color better.

Thanks! Being that my F is black, I needed a color that stood out. The black on black was killing me.

rue. to bad Lexus didn't make the caliper paint an option. i saw a black M3 today on the freeway with Silver calipers and it looked sick. not sure which wheels or color since we didn't really come to a complete stop, but the tires had white lettering. couldn't take my peripheral vision off it lol
