Looks good. I would've hit the part of the disc that is up against the wheel with black or something.

Thanks! I was gonna paint that part of the breaks but I hope to soon have some new slotted discs so I didn't worry with it. And Fool, I got my stickers from Fourth Circle Designs. Good pricing and good quality.

Thread revival..

Simple question. When you painted the black part, did you simply tape the red part off and spray it or is there a way to remove the caliper??

You can take the caliper off. You just need a 3/8" x 1" bolt and nut for the banjo fitting. You can follow this guide to remove them:

you don't HAVE to take them off it's just easier and less masking.

Looks good man! I did clear over my decals as well. My calipers are still nice and shiny so I think yours will hold up for a while.

And what rotors are those? They look good too!

Holy thread revivial! Haha

I bought the red caliper paint from the auto parts store. I've just never gotten around to doing it. I want to take the calipers off so I can do a real nice job. I need to learn how to bleed brakes first!
