So I repainted my calipers again

Used to be red and looked good for awhile but after seeing too many hondas and everything else in town has red I decided that it was just too played out around here so I went ahead and painted them again. this is the closest stuff I can find that matches the brembo bronze. btw its folia-tec gold and the kit has enough to do 3 cars since I only used about 1/3 of the can. this stuff is much better than the spray can hi temp engine enamel that I used to have which strips off easly with brakleen(used to strip off red) and also the foliatec seems to be a better finnish almost like theres a clear coat on it.


no flash, pic of what it really looks like in normal light conditions

Folia-Tec is awsome, mine still have that nice gloss to them as well. That color is perfect for your car.

thanks guys, does the folia-tec fade or get darker over time?

wow I thought sliver and black were the only two colors I liked. That gold matches the color of your car and wheels. Very nice
