Thanks! I painted my calipers a few months ago, but the bracket and everything was painted red. I repainted the calipers red, and painted the bracket black. I think it looks better this way.

That looks really good man! Yeah I left my bracket black too and I agree I think it looks much better that way.

I need to go over my bracket again to give it that "fresh" look..did you just buy black caliper paint or what?

I had the red paint from the first time. I just bought some black high temp paint from autozone and sanded the red down on the bracket and sprayed it.

I did mine both red, looks pretty good behind a black wheel. Fun part is masking off and stuff. I wire wheeled my brackets after a soak in brake cleaner.
