Installed Rotora rotors and Painted front calipers!

Here are some pics of my painted front calipers, let me know what you think! I will paint the rear calipers as soon as I get the rotors and brake pad for them. Sorry for the shitty pics, they were taken in my garage which has limited space to move around in.

Its a spray, my mechanic was nice enough to take apart everything for me and let me clean it with a wirebrush then spray several coats of the gold paint. Did you go with Red calipers on your car?

nice. i like your painted calipers looks like brembo, anybody that doesnt agree with that is a ricer. change your rims though..to small...white is a ricey color for rims. and kinda ugly patern. if i was you i would look for some darker color rotas like gun metal or hyper black. drop it. look real nice.

not too bad there. it's cool that you did something while the mechanic was at work. i hate just standing by. almost feels to me that i'm pressuring for them to hurry. good work. now drop it with some springs.
