Almost went with black, then decided the red would accent the rest of the the car. I have a few more pictures. not significantly different from the ones I already posted though. If I get bored tonight I'll post the rest

JVD graphics did the decals for me. They came out awesome. And no I just cleaned with soap and water, got a little acetone for the grease and sprayed some high temperature glossy duplicolor paint.

Not bad but would have looked better if you would have taken the caliper off and not painted over the back side of the pad.

Well, if they're going to be getting replaced soon then why didn't you wait so that the paint on them doesn't get marked up?

Pulling the pads off would have been like 10 extra minutes. Just sayin'.
