A lil mod on the WS6

Well,I decided to paint the calipers red on my WS6,let me know what you guys think about it.. I think it looks alot better in person then in the pics...I like it,its something subtle to break up the all black,the only interior mod I have in an all black interior is a red shift ****.... Anyway here are the pics:The last pic,is just my favorite pic of my car..

Looks really nice and SICK! Jus a suggestion, paint the side-marker black. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

Hey Jake.

Nice Choice of color! I have them red in my car, but painted the caliper backet black. Yours look good!

Lookin' good man, still plan to do this soon. Did you take off the caliper and bracket, or just paint the face or what?

How many coats of paint did you put on them and how long did it take you to do them all in total? Thanks.

The brand is Dupli-color ceramic caliper paint,the kit comes with masking tape,brake part cleaner,and the brush..

It took a couple hours,I put two coats on there and two coats of high temp clear...Most people dont use the clear but I already had it so I thought what the hell....The paint is really thick,so you may be able to get by with one coat..
