While I would have gone black with the hats...the red really doesnt look bad on your car. However..the only things I would have done different is I would have painted the caliper bracket different. I like to use "cast" paint, so it looks like raw metal. And I would have left the pads unpainted.
With the entire caliper/bracket/pad painted, it sort of looks like you just sprayed it all together knid of fast. No definition between the parts.
Its not bad..just saying what I would have done different.
Looks good though! I wanted to paint my rotor hats and the viens too...but I got too lazy. Had new rotors, and just was in too much of a hurry.

Thanks guys...I definitely wanted red hats and rotors for the contrast against the black wheel and wheel well..
As for black brackets or having all one color calipers and brackets... The Porsche I was next to, that inspired this, was all red and it looked AWESOME!!
IMO, Having the black bracket makes it look like it floating there and the red keeps everything as one piece, like the aftermarket brake kits and on the exotics.
As for it looking like it all got painted together, i know what you mean, but in person, it does actually look better.
But again, thanks guys!
