Brake Rotors and Painted Calipers Done!

Ok my original post about these rotors was here. Once they were put on I painted my calipers and NOT the pads..ughh with some regular high temp spray paint. Check it out.

REAR:



FRONT:



The difference is suttle from far away but man it really capped off the whole look of the car...for now.

Its 'subtle' not suttle

But very nice job ! This is something I want to do to my 5th gen too.
Did you remove the caliper etc. to do the job or did you manage to get it done in place ?

I agree that painting the caliper and not the pad looks better but I painted mine all black because I have the EBC greenstuff pads and the green looked like poo...

Thanks for the comments guys. I havent been able to really "use" the brakes since I havent completely broken them in yet. I got about 200 more miles to go before I feel safe enough to really punch'em.
