Default Painted Calipers - PICS INSIDE

Ok I uploaded the pics. As you can see I only painted the part that physically holds the pads... enjoy (The car is dirty, I washed it on Saturday but had to drive in the rain before I could get pics).

personaly i would paint the whole thing including the pads. That just looks like something is missing...also i would do black calipers not red

To paint them black or silver seems a waste of paint to me. They hardly show.

+1 on the red, black/silver is not really a significant change. In addition, I like that you painted just the caliper and not the pad. Looks nice!

+1 on the red. They suit the car and stand out.

Looks good. I like that you did not paint the whole thing red. It looks more factory when just the caliper body is painted. I think when everything is painted it looks cheap. Of course, that my opinion though.

I had mine done in Ford Blue at first, Then when I got the chrome rims I painted them Black, couldn't be happier. I think black would look great on his car, JMO.
