Painted brake calipers
So I replaced my front rotors over the weekend and while had everything off i decided to paint the front and back calipers with some silver high temp spray paint.

Looks good! Gives it a nice clean look. imho, our cars don't need to do red etc. like a new Civic R etc, that's for when a vehicle has huge brakes. Just makes the car look clean overall. Sweet.
p.s. are those OE rotors? Because mine looked like that when the selling dealership did them. The OE seems to have gray hats, where aftermarket premium rotors are black...and do you have the lug nut on to prevent the rotor from slipping off? Guess we don't have a set screw....I know the dealer used anti seize as I asked because I saw it peering out from the lug bolts, so I don't anticipate trouble removing in the future...

I bought centrics for my rears ($27 on amazon, no brainer!), but the hats are black, not gray...unless the fronts are different? What sold me on centrics is they say 400 hours of salt water exposure and won't rust. I have bought cheap Raybestos before for my Nissan, with black hats, and they rusted badly from the unswept part of the disc right up to the black paint. Which is a reason I do like OE if affordable since the entire disc is dipped, and what's worn by the swept area is the only not treated area....my next car, whatever it is, is going to have huge brakes from the factory!
