Good choice, on the pepporoni digiorno. Red calipers looks good with your black on black. But it looks like you didnt unbolt calipers or brackets to paint them. Did you at least clean them really good?

hahahahahaha yeah, i suppose thats a great cause for concern...

most of us spray the calipers while on the car. theres no real need to take anything off except the wheel.

only reason i sprayed mine while it was off the car was because it was a new setup and was easier for me to do it that way...but i think on my beater ima paint while its on the car, just to clean it up a bit

like the look of the wheels, i'm not really liking the red color - i might have gone with the blk option on the calipers as it would have looked better IMO.

For the calipers I went to Pep Boys and got a red caliper painting kit, it came with spray cleaner and a little can of brush applied paint. The calipers look really really really good. (paint wise) just follow all instructions (wait times between coats) and clean them really well before painting
