Paul -- I like that combination. And as a University of Michigan grad and loyal Wolverine, my wife will probably want me to do that to her blue focus now!

I like the painted calipers. Makes me want to goto Best Buy.....hmmmmm


What paint did you use? I'm curious how long it will stay on and if it will fade. I hope not, as I said it looks good.
