No he probably wasn't blowing smoke...he probably had some reason for it, and I didn't mean to come off like I was questioning your story...I was just curious what paint they wanted to use. Brake fluid messes with a lot of paints, and was curious about their choices.

FYI: those brake caliper paint kits that Eastwood and others sell, is okay for just plain street driving. Don't expect much more out of it...unless I just had a bad experience.

Very clean! If I didn't just get mine all warrantied, I was going to do something similar myself, but black with the Brembo in red.

But props for the originality! Looks cool

If anyone wants me to I’ll do a little write up and take some before, during and after pictures tonight when I do the other three I will. Let me know what you think.
the color came out great

^ yea where you get the bremo decals, front and rear. I wonder if it will come off after the clear coat also because I painted them and it holds up pretty well but no decals on them.

Thanks for the writeup. I though you'd have to pull the calipers apart to do it. Looks like my next few weekends will be under the wheel arch's. haha
