Looks great. Definetly doing that to my DGM.

How did you do it?

What product did you use? Have you used it before? What will utilize look like 20k miles later? Thinking of doing this myself.

I used VHT Brake Caliper Paint (Red), then I finished them with VHT (Clear), baked them in the oven for the paint to settle in. I have used it before, it should last!

I dislike all beauty 'mods' but this one looks appealing. Imo, stock silver is a horrible match with red exterior.

Did you paint over stock paint or over the bare metal?

Thanks!

Thank you! It was over the bare metal, I re-coated the red a couple times after it dried just to insure I got everything

How long and at what temp did you bake them?
