colors..

i dont have a catalog per say but they have a much bigger variety than caliper paint, autozone has them in the back just ask for it, they might just have pink as much as i cant picture in on a super white... do let me know how that goes..

this sounds like a dumb question but ......can I do anything wrong when i paint the calipers? Meaning - can anything be done to mess up the actual performance of the break? Also - should you take the rims off when you paint them? That sounds like its the easier route but I have the stock rims so im not sure how hard it would be to paint.

and secondly, yeah, you'll have to take off the rims.. or else you'll be sittin there forever and just a careless swing and there's a big red mark across your rims..lol

I've been thinking about doing this for awhile, but seeing yours is convincing.

My question for everyone though...what about the Red tc's? The natural choice to paint my calipers would be red, but that just seems so typical and as everyone pointed out, red doesn't look all that hot really. Maybe black?
