Mike, How long after you painted your calipers did you drive your RX?? I wanted to paint mine tomorrow on the GS, but in the afternoon I have alot of things I have to do.... So I was figuring get up at 7, paint just the front ones let them dry and be on my way..... What do you think???

And now the finished product..... Wow this $hit was messy... It was a good thing I only did the front ones this week, because I ended up spilling the paint everywhere.....

Looks good - I like the red brake look even if they are stock. The silver GS with those wheels look so classy
