Do I need to get my tires balanced or aligned after I put them back on myself??

If you have aftermarket performance calipers (like Brembos or Willwoods, for example), they always look fantastic when painted a bright or contrasting color. If you have the OEM calipers (and they're not something like Brembos), they tend to look better unpainted so they don't stand out. That's just my opinion. Others may disagree.

FWIW, I've always loved the burnt orange Brembos that came on the G35 coupe with the manual transmission. I also like the bright yellow Brembos that come on a variety of Porsche vehicles as well.

Yellow on the Porsche usually signifies that they are the Ceramic option.

Looks great though.... I'm not sure why I like yellow calipers, but I do. Looks good on any color car!

You need a jack and jack stands to set the car on if you don't have a lift. You don't need an impact to remove or install the wheels it just speeds up the process. Tires do not need balancing or aligned if you are just taking them off to paint the calipers.

Good man, too many people are sarcastic douchebags when someone asks a simple question.
