Painting the calipers red

My buddy Tom and I did this last month-got red brake spray paint-masked everything on the tire and gave each wheel a couple of coats-they look great-we also did the air vents same color same time and this weekend the front grills-Tom is the son of a painter and the secret is in the masking-good luck-ljt

I dont know what to do with the Calipers but I agree red is the way to go...or again gloss black. I would have to have them painted, or buy new ones which at this point one thing at a time. If anyone knows a good way to paint them while on the car let me know! I am NOT a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination.

Funny thing is in any other fascet of my life, black and grey are the last colors I would choose...but love it on the boxster!
