Looks good. I am going to do mine as soon as it comes in. I just can't decide between yellow or red (my car is going to be black).

Looks good! I would like to do mine but I'm afraid that it would be too much red, since mine is torch red.

NICE!!!

Did you do that yourself or did you drop it off somewhere?
I don't have a place to be to do such a thing where I live now, but I would really like to have my calipers painted, since I noticed some corossion after washing it yesterday...

Did it myself. 2 coats of rust oleum industrial primer and 4 coats of rust oleum industrial paint.

Excellent! I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing when I get my black '05 and was hoping someone else would be the "test-rat" . sorry
Did you disconnect the calibers - paint them OFF the car?

I removed everything I could with the exception of the brake line (Ididn't want to mess with bleeding the lines) I masked the brake lines and everything else I didn't want paint on. It's a lot more work painting them while still attached to the brake lines, so if you don't mind bleeding the lines then I suggest to take them completely out.
