Painting them only helps to draw attention to the rather feeble looking OEM calipers/disks.. I rather upgrade the pads if I was looking to splash some cash on the brakes.. |

What?
I gotta hand it to you. You really made the most of it. That logo is perfect. Is it hard to keep clean?

I chuckle every single time I see calipers painted red , orange or yellow. "I just like the colour" "I just wanted to clean them up" "I am not pretending they are something else" Yaaaaa...right.

I thought about paining mine black to blend away behind the back wheels like this picture. I don't see anything wrong with painting them if done properly/not gaudy. Painting red/yellow/bright colors does attract more attention and does kind of say "look at my painted OEM calipers" though. |

going by this mentality, I guess no one should ever paint anything? Those stripes, anything but OEM colors, wraps, painted hoods etc- they are all just screaming "look at me" and are gaudy.
amirite? |

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. It's safe to say anybody wrapping a hood in carbon fiber wrap or painting the calipers red is wanting attention from other fellas. It definitely isn't girls that know what Brembos and carbon fiber is.

Someday when I make it big, I want to fill a tub with ice cream and lay on it until it's all melted.
