mine are grey, i like going for that stealthy factory look.
I should just convert to single, right?As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;

Unless they are WRX 4pots or Brembos they should be black and dont even think about buying those cheap brembo covers! unless of cause you own a holden or ford then go for it.

I used to paint mine red.
Then I realised if you paint them black, you don't need to clean them. Which is a tough job with wheels like yours and mine.
Unless they are brembos or 4 pots BLACK is the only way to go...
haha, black is tempting too. but im feeling like black might not be as noticeable as what red is? i know that's a pretty lame concept, but i'd like something to look atleast "aftermarket".. until you fail to see brembo decals!
i'll give red a shot anyway, or have a look at those break calipers, if i dont like it i'll just go black. will keep you all updated.
cheers.

Yes it's a lame concept. No, they won't look aftermarket. If anything you'll just draw attention to them and the fact that they're not aftermarket.haha, black is tempting too. but im feeling like black might not be as noticeable as what red is? i know that's a pretty lame concept, but i'd like something to look atleast "aftermarket".. until you fail to see brembo decals!

I painted my old 4 and 2 pots black.
I painted my wife's 2 and single pots black.
I painted my Brembo's black.
Red calipers on a silver car with gold and silvery/polished rims? Really?

Unless you spray your gold wheels black/charcoal and then you could go red.
Give them a sand down and couple of coats:

Im currently in the process of upgrading my front brakes to wrx 4pots and ive decided on black.. i think it goes alot better against the silver body.. painted the rears black already and when i upgraded the pads and changed to slotted rotors..
http://www.ozliberty...19467/?p=205871
Thats how the rears come out.. will post up pics of the front when i finish.. Really not that hard to do either.. Just need a full day to do it and just follow the directions on the back on the caliper paint..
