On the 2nd photo you can see the few spots where i got it on the rotor but it rubbed off pretty quick with a bit of braking

luv the rims

luv the rims

They are very nice, but I think he was more after feedback on caliper painting.

Looks good, but silver is a pretty neutral colour, and hence won't attract attention as much as a brighter colour like red, orange, yellow etc. I guess it comes down to what effect you are after, personally I like my yellow calipers because they draw attention to the wheels and brakes.

Also - it adds abit of time to the job, but I removed my brake pads before painting, and feel it looks alot better. Although you will achieve the same result next time you replace your pads.

Yeh i did 1 in red then decided it just didnt go with my style of wheels so redid all of them in the silver. I left the pads on on purpose because they were pretty dull colours so i just did them silver aswell so it stands out a bit more and makes the caliper look larger

Hey mate i paint my calipers to.Just have a look.I liked a silver color to.

if you want nice alloy looking brakes hjust use cleaning acid works every time

if i ever stop spending money on the interior of my car and start spending some on the outside ( eg. rims lowering further kit colour code etc. ) i would just spray the calipers and everything inthere black as to make the rims stand out more.

I think it looks nice. suttle. Just makes the car look cleaner, and neater. Coloured ones can look good, but look best on a coloureed car. if done wrong, they just look tacky..
like one time i saw an old, i think it was an old subi liberty, it had rear drum brakes.. and this dude had the whole drum painted in some dogey half faded blue.. looked so bad..

anyway, nice job dude :)
