Use a scuff pad instead of sand paper.

Would the burnt copper look bad on the KBP? I really like it on the NBP.

Im going to do white on my RL callipers when I get that all situated. Yellow looks good on KBP, prob not your style though. If you went the burnt copper id get amber bulbs too

Was never a big fan of Yellow. I do have amber turn signal bulbs now so I think it would tie in very well. If anything, I guess I could buy a can and spray something and set in over the caliper to see if I like the color. I just want something different, but still looks good.

What paint did you use for your calipers? I've been thinking of painting my Brembo's black or silver for almost a year now, I just haven't gotten around to doing it. I think you may have made up my mind for me though because this is definitely the best job I've seen yet! Looks great!
