JD, looks real nice. I recall on another thread a while back when you were thinking about doing this combo. Congrats on a job well done.
For others (I know JD has seen this), here are some pics from when I did mine in the Red/White combo...

1. Blue taped around the rotors (like this pic)
2. Use the caliper cleaner and then dry it off with a clean towel.
3. Stir the paint for about a 1min then start painting the calipers with the enclosed paint brush. The paint is very runny so paint in short strokes to avoid run away drips, you may have to put on more than one coat allow 10-15 min between coats. I put on two coats for all calipers, also the paint is a high gloss finish not flat.
4. After the paint drys (give a hour) then add stickers and park in the sun so it will help the paint cure faster.
5. Put your wheels back on and take pics to show your fellow CL members.
Easy as 1-2-3 fellas!
Any auto parts store should have it, I got mine at Advanced Auto Parts or you can buy it online.
