It was just easier to paint. Not sure what will happen when I change out the brakes, I'm sure I'll simple have to do some touch up painting, but till then, they look nice!

I'm going to pick up my paint kit in the next day or two.

still undecided if I'm going to do RED or YELLOW. I think YELLOW looks the best, but not sure if it's too " in your face "..

another question - when I spray the heck out of my calipers with brake cleaner, and scrub them - does it matter if any of the cleaner gets onto the pads??? i'm NOT going to disassemble anything.. my brakes were redone w/in the last 6 months and the fluid was flushes..do my brakes are good and this is purely for cosmetics...and I want to do it in a day/easiest way possible... so i'm going to paint them wiht a brush, and just mask stuff off.

i also have rusted front calipers - so I'm goign to scrub and paint the hats while the wheels are off... my rear brakes have the OEM "black" finish, so I may paint the hats black to match those. or i'll redo ALL the hats in a silver finish.

RED or YELLOW - decisions decision decisions.

when I see Crios' car - I want to go yellow! it looks HOT!
